Passionate

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2016)

The intense drama of a man awakening for his transsexuality is admirably given in this passionate movie not only for the plot building but also for the excellent performance of its actors chiefly of Alicia Vikander and Eddie Redmayne in the main roles. His drama spreads itself to his loving wife and later on to a childhood friend (Mathias Schoenaerts as the friend Hans Axgil) forming a love triangle. This is based on a veridical actual story of real people that took place in Copenhagen and Paris on early 20th century. The movie develops itself in scenes of great dramatic depth and intensity. In those early times transsexuality was often confused with homossexuality and even classified as insanity. This atmosphere is also somewhat felt in the movie. This is one of the best movies shown in 2015/16.
