A Fantastic Woman 《普通女人》

主演：丹妮拉·维加 / 弗朗西斯科·雷耶斯 / 路易斯·尼科 / 艾琳·库彭海姆 / 尼古拉斯·萨维德拉

Chile has produced two of the most interesting film-makers in the world right now. Between Pablo Larraín, who crossed over to Hollywood with 2016’s Jackie, and Sebastián Lelio, who made the 2013 festival darling Gloria, the nation has become one of the most interesting movie exporters in South America. Lelio’s latest, A Fantastic Woman, has just been nominated¹ for best foreign language film at the Oscars, and is only now being released around the world. It’s about a romance² between an older man and a much younger transgender woman, and the horrible abuse she takes from his family after he dies. Daniela Vega, who is herself transgender, distinguishes³ the film with her performance – especially considering how so many filmmakers still cast cisgender actors in transgender roles. Lelio is about to cross over to Hollywood himself for two more films scheduled to be released this year: Disobedience, an adaptation of the Naomi Alderman novel starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams, and a remake of Gloria starring Julianne Moore in the title role. Released February 2 in the US, February 24 in Japan and March 2 in the UK and Ireland. (Credit: Sony Pictures Classics)

智利诞生了世界上最有趣的两位导演。一位是帕布罗·拉雷恩，2016年曾凭借《第一夫人》进军好莱坞，另一位是塞巴斯蒂安·莱里奥，曾导演过在电影节上广受认可的2013年电影《葛洛莉亚》。这两个人让智利成为了南美最有趣的电影出口国之一。莱里奥的新作《普通女人》刚刚获得奥斯卡最佳外语片的提名，现在才开始在世界各地陆续上映。该片讲述的是一个老年男子和一个年轻得多的变性女人之间的爱情故事，以及在老人死后，他的家庭对这位变性女子的残忍虐待。扮演变性女子的丹妮拉·维加自己就是个变性人，她的出演让这部电影与众不同，尤其是考虑到还有那么多导演用顺性别者来扮演变性人。莱里奥计划进军好莱坞，2018年他还有两部电影要上映：《违命》（改编自娜奥米·奥德曼的小说，由蕾切尔·薇兹和瑞秋·麦克亚当斯主演），还有翻拍的《葛洛莉亚》（主演是朱丽安·摩尔）。影片将于2月2日在美国上映，2月24日在日本上映，3月2日在英国和爱尔兰上映。（资料来源：索尼经典影业）
