A FANTASTIC WOMAN
[UNA MUJER FANTÁSTICA]
Marina (Daniela Vega), a young waitress and aspiring singer, is happily in love and planning for the future after having newly moved in with her boyfriend, Orlando (Francisco Reyes), who is 20 years her senior and a successful business owner. Tragedy strikes as Orlando suddenly dies, thrusting Daniela into the spotlight under the judgmental eyes of Orlando’s family and everyone in the orbit of his death as they all concoct their own narratives as to why Marina, who is transgender, would have been involved with Orlando. This moving tale won director Sebastián Lelio the award for Best Screenplay at the 2017 Berlin Film Festival, as well as the 2018 Academy Award®️ for Best Foreign Language Film. It also led to actual reform in Chile, as the discussion around the film helped pass laws allowing transgender citizens to change their name and gender on official government records.
