Zackary Drucker follows up “The Stroll” with Enigma, a new chapter in her ongoing excavation of trans history. This time, the journey travels from Parisian cabarets to the guarded world of British high society, unspooling the parallel lives of Amanda Lear and April Ashley. Told through vintage media, newsreel interviews, and period footage, the film keeps to a traditional timeline, until Lear enters the frame. Drucker’s conversation with the icon herself jolts the documentary with stakes, skepticism, and the ambiguity its title promises.
Ooh, interesting! The HBO original documentary debuts June 24 on Max and at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO. Find the trailer after the jump. Thoughts?
