    • Synopsis
    • 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 took a major turn when she came upon a drag show on tour: le Carrousel de Paris. Marie-Pierre became Bambi, and within a few years established herself as a legendary figure of the Parisian cabaret scenes of the 50s and 60s. By collecting the story of one of the first transgender women, Sébastien Lifshitz continues his work initiated with Wild Side and Little Girl and portrays a forceful personality.
      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.
