Interview: Writer-Director Olaf de Fleur on 'The Amazing
Truth About Queen Raquela'

"Underseen amongst my peers at SXSW, Icelandic filmmaker Olaf de
Fleur's stylish and heartfelt transsexual docudrama, The Amazing Truth
About Queen Raquela, had already arrived in Austin with a prestigious
award tucked into its pantyhose: weeks before, the film won the Teddy
Award at the Berlin Film Festival. Far from your typical ->-bleeped-<- film,
Queen Raquela is not about sex-change operations or identity quests,
but the touching, dreamlike, quasi-autobiographical tale of Raquela
Rios, a transsexual Cebu City prostitute who longs to leave the
Philippines, meet a nice straight man and visit Paris."
