Beautiful evocative and special

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2016)

Most people cannot appreciate beauty anymore. This film deserves NO criticism; it is beautiful on all levels. Nothing is perfect hence a 9. The central performances are astoundingly good. The cinematography/sets/costumes/ etc etc are perfection. Now to the story - listening and reading the critics I expected to be disappointed; you know the types - they either need some kind of special effects to blow the mind or some kind of twisted dark story to get the positives going - but this film is subtle, opens the mind to new possibilities of human experience and the pain and the joy of life. Who would ever think to remember a Danish man from long ago, who was a trans-gender. A man who was talented and sensitive; full of love yet living in a world where such things as trans-gender were considered mental illness. Who would have imagined his beautiful and talented wife, who was a person of immense loyalty and love. Who would imagine their story? It is so interesting to take the journey of this film. A wonderful film.
