Bambi: A French Woman

2021 • Directed by

Sébastien Lifshitz

Documentary

From the day she was born in Algiers, Marie-Pierre has always wanted to wear dresses and has stubbornly refused her given name: Jean-Pierre. At the age of 17, her life takes a major turn when she comes upon a drag show on tour: le Carrousel de Paris. Marie-Pierre becomes Bambi, and within a few years establishes herself as a legendary figure of the Parisian cabaret scenes of the 50s and 60s. This updated version of the film extends and deepens the short-film released in 2013 to become the feature-length version the director has always dreamt of making.
