With its racecourses, its port, its marina, its conference center, its villas, its casinos and its sumptuous hotels, Deauville is regarded as the queen of the Norman beaches.
In the 1860s visits by Napoleon III made the coast of Normandy adjacent to Deauville fashionable, and soon speculators developed the infrastructure necessary to accommodate members of the Imperial court and the growing Parisian bourgeoisie.
Festival du Film Americain de Deauville, France, the logos of the corporate sponsors were flashed on the screen, each having its own private curtain call.
This film is a musical, a tragic musical with a sense of humor and history about a transgender singer who is the victim of a botched sex change operation.
The film was shot on digital video for under a million dollars, and it seemed clear to me that the Americans in the audience appreciated it more than the French, since the movie itself takes the form of the television show.
