"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."
