A Fantastic Woman
Una Mujer Fantástica | Sebastian Leilo
After the death of her partner, a transgender singer has to face his reactionary, openly hostile family. Tackling a subject that is still considered highly sensitive, this is a work of deeply affecting dignity, with a sublime performance by transgender actress Daniela Vega. One of the year’s festival triumphs: Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, a haul of awards at Berlin, making Sebastián Lelio a hot property in Hollywood.
