PRINCESA, the movie

[dajuicy]

yea, thats a pretty good movie.....i thought, and the other one you mentioned is that the english title...is it an itallian film, Brazilian? and where might i get a hold of it.....i cant confirm, but i believe the t girl in the starring role, was a first time actress, who committed suicide before the films completion, dont rember where i heard or read that, but i think it might be true...maybe there is someone else out here theat would know....

J - Today's sign that the hobbyists here have no heart: You see a heart wrenching story about the emotional challenges of transgenders and all you can think about is whether the actress is a provider! I will admit she was a babe, but I'll show my softer side here. I think that movie should be required viewing for anyone who aspires to really understand transsexuals and the complex and maddening emotions that they experience. For the person who likes to visit Brasil, its also a fascinating look at the brasilian transsexual culture.

dajuicy - All About My Mother was a spanish film that came out about 5 years ago, released under that name in the US.

It was a great movie. Did a write up about it a couple of months back

J - I didn't intend any offense, hope none was taken. Just sorta making a joke. Actually, to be honest, I'm on my way to Brasil soon and just to see the lead girl in the movie was making me a lil horny!

NYCe - Great write up, BTW.

For someone who has traveled extensively and had the schizophrenic client/boyfriend issue front and center, I also thought the plot line of "tudo os Italianos sao clientes" (all italians are clients) to be very real.

Princesa was a really good one , though the subtitles tend to
me nuts .


You may also want to check out another ts-related movie
called SOLDIER GIRL ( which stars Tony Garrity from 'Barbershop')


it's based on a military soldier who falls in love with a
transexual dance performer despite harsh hatred & discrimination
from his fellow soldier mates .

I wasn't able to find much about the actress but the author of the book the movie was based on died by her own hand before the movie began shooting.

Saw all those films. Ma vie en Rose was great, Different for Girls, pretty good. Wild Side is beautifully shot. Looks like they only used soft natural light in most scenes. Casting naturally striking faces helped too. (Anybody see the foreign films Transfixion and Tiresias? I'm looking for them.)
