A Fantastic Woman

Chilean director Sebastián Lelio follows his marvelous Gloria (2013) with another resoundingly affirmative portrait of a marginalized woman holding her ground. Santiago bar singer Marina Vidal is headstrong, vivacious and happily in love. When her lover dies, Marina finds herself, a trans woman living with an older man, immediately suspected of foul play.

Rising Chilean director Sebastián Lelio celebrates the endurance of a woman under suspicion of murder in a film that heralds a stellar debut for transgender actress Daniela Vega.

Filmography: Disobedience (2017), Gloria (2013), La sagrada familia (2005).
