The Danish Girl

2016Tom Hooper

4.4/5

Copenhagen, Denmark, 1926. Einar Wegener (played by Eddie Redmayne) and his wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander) are a happily married couple. Both are artists, Einar preferring landscapes and she portraits. One day Einar poses for a portrait of Gerda's while wearing a dress. This is initially done as a lark, as is the later attendance at a party dressed as a woman. However, Einar soon discovers that she is in fact a woman and over time prefers being Lili. At first she and Gerda try to have her situation "cured" but this leads nowhere (other than to many doctors trying to have Lili locked up as a pervert and/or lunatic). Her voyage of self-discovery will ultimately lead to her undergoing the first ever sex-change operation.

If you like The Danish Girl, you might also like Cultural Depictions Of 20th-Century Painters, Films Set In Germany, American Lgbt-Related Films, and Films Based On American Novels.

This Kind Of Vibes

Dark Academy. Brown leafs on the sidewalk. Salty tears. Sweet Smile. Aching heart. Black sheeps. Being Comfortably numb. Teenage days confusion. Escapism, in a good way.
