My Life in Pink
Ludovic Fabre (Georges Du Fresne), a seven-year-old French boy, knows who and what he is. He's a girl. He's sure of it. Whenever he can, he wears dresses and adores a Barbie-like doll. He prefers to keep his hair long even though his two older brothers wear theirs close cropped.
His parents feel he'll "outgrow" his feelings and will be a "normal" little boy, but when his actions grow more public, his father Pierre (Jean-Philippe Écoffey) is humilated and his mother Hanna (Michèle Laroque) is confused. The only ones who seem to be able to accept him for who is is are his grandmother (Hélène Vincent) and his older sister Zoé (Cristina Barget).
This gentle and thought-provoking film was lovingly direct by Alain Berliner.
Nominated for and won numerous international awards including winning the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.
French language with English subtitles.
Rated R for brief strong language.
My personal rating: B+
