About Super Woman
In the form of an investigative report, Super Woman offers a dive into the world of transvestites and transsexuals who, in 1975, brightened up certain Parisian cabarets such as the Carrousel, the Etrier, the Alcazar or Chez Michou... The latter introduces us to two of its stars, Duduche and Fifi, who evokes his encounters with Sylvie Vartan, whom he imitates to perfection. Then an investigator goes to the Carrousel and meets Claudie, Laurence, Peggy, Albane, Griselleda, Maryline and Kristel.
Directed by Philippe Gasté, Christian Gion, Super Woman leans on a strong ensemble — Claude Quemerais, Daniel Gardeux, Jean-Claude Sanchez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1976.
