A Fantastic Woman (2017)

£0.00

(Una mujer fantástica)


Country: CHI/GER/SP/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 104m
Director: Sebastián Lelio
Cast: Daniela Vega, Francisco Reyes, Luis Gnecco

Synopsis:

A transiting male singer and restaurant server loses her lover to a night of passion and must suddenly contend with the hostility of his family and the callous treatment of officialdom. Gradually she gathers her resources and cries out in revolt.

Review:

A superb piece of cinema, of which Almódovar would be proud. Set in Santiago, you can sense the dynamics of a city which, while embracing democracy, is still systemically and socially shot through with the reactionary attitudes of its past. The mise en scène is leisurely and sensuous; the central performance, very much a self-exposure, is stunning.
