’s “Under the Stars of Paris.” The French-German speaks to Variety about the pic and his upcoming prostitution documentary “The Amazons.”
Drexel was born in Germany, but moved with his family to France at the age of 3, initially in Grenoble, where his father worked at the INP’s research labs, and then to Paris at the age of 23. He says his multi-cultural background makes him feel very German when in France and very French when in Germany.
His 2013 feature-length documentary “On the Edge of the World,” about homeless people living on the streets of Paris, premiered in the ACID showcase in Cannes, and won the Grand Prize of the International Francophone Film Festival in Germany. He says he has enjoyed returning to fiction with “Under the Stars of Paris” because it makes it possible to reach a wider audience, especially due to the renown of lead actress Catherine Frot, who is a ten-time César Award nominee, and won Best Actress for “Marguerite” and Best Supporting Actress for “Family Resemblances” .
At first he was unsure whether the female, male and trans-sexual prostitutes working in Paris’ Bois du Boulogne would be willing to be interviewed, but says a relationship of trust was built up over time.
