Marvelously played by Academy Award®-winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything, MVFF Spotlight 2014), Lili, born Einar, is in a happy marriage with fellow painter Gerda (rising star Alicia Vikander, Ex Machina) in this drama set in 1920s Copenhagen. When Gerda’s model doesn’t show up for one of her portrait sessions, Einar takes her place, dressing in women’s clothes for the first time, discovering a brand-new identity as Lili, and subsequently creating a new, complex dimension to the marriage. Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone), Sebastian Koch (Black Book), and Ben Whishaw (Skyfall) also star in this beautifully lensed portrait of one of the pioneers of the transgender movement.
Director – Tom Hooper
