Fantastična ženska

Slovenski opis filma:

Drama. Čile, sodobnost. Marina Vidal (Daniela Vega) živi kot ženska, čeprav je biološko še vedno moški. Je v razmerju s premožnim gentelmanom, Orlandom, ki je precej starejši od nje. Nenadoma Orlando (Francisco Reyes) umre in svet se tudi za Marino bistveno spremeni. Nenadoma se družina umrlega obrne proti njej; spravijo jo iz stanovanja, vzamejo ji psa, ki ji ga je Orlando poklonil, vrniti mora avto in se spopasti z Orlandovo uradno ženo, ki Marino imenuje kar Himera (izrodek domišljije). Tudi na pogreb ji ne pustijo in do nje so skrajno grobi in neprizanesljivi… Film je presunljiv pogled na sodobno, vendar ksenofobno in homofobno čilensko družbo. Daniela Vega, ki igra Marino, je tudi resnično transseksualna igralka. / ČILE | NEMČIJA | ŠPANIJA | ZDA / 2017 Režija: Sebastián Lelio / Scenarij: Sebastián Lelio, Gonzalo Maza / Igrajo: Daniela Vega, Francisco Reyes, Luis Gnecco, Aline Küppenheim, Amparo Noguera…

Originalni opis filma:

Somewhere in Santiago at a dimly-lit nightclub, Orlando, the kindly and well-off owner of a textile company, locks eyes with Marina, a hopeful singer and the roughly half-his-age love of his life. But, unfortunately, after Marina's birthday celebration and a night of passion, Orlando falls gravely ill--and by the following morning--he dies in hospital. In the wake of her companion's untimely death, Marina will soon realise that, from now on, everything is brought into question: her involvement in Orlando's death, their unconventional relationship; and above all, her right to mourn her beloved deceased. In the end, what was Marina's crime; a deed so hideous that would rob a fantastic woman of her respect, her dignity, and ultimately, her identity?
