I don't read a lot about movies before I go see them, as sometimes even the plot synopsis gives too much away. This played to my favor in watch this Oscar nominated foreign movie from Chile, about a transgender woman trying to reclaims her inheritance when her boyfriend passes away from the family that never accepted her. It is the blackest of black comedies, interrupted by surreal dream like footage until one is left wondering which events are real and which are just symbols of oppression hurled at our main character. A great story and somewhat of a mystery at its core, the film is a joy to behold. Transgender actress Daniela Vega makes you feel her harsh reality in every scene.

I have watched the 5 nominated movies for Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and this movie Really was THE WORST of them and one of the worst movies I have ever watched, I wonder surprisingly why it won Oscar

A Fantastic Woman (Spanish: Una mujer fantástica) (2017)
Director: Sebastián Lelio
Watched: May 2018
Rating: 7/10 {Clue: As an opera singer, Marina shows how this can be a source of healing and empowerment} Marina discovers her inner fantastic as she fights to preserve the memory of her love- against the wishes of his transphobic family members, Unfortunately hinges a little too much on transgender victimhood rather than character development, Shows the difficult truth of hate crimes without apologies or unnecessary melodrama, Impressive performance from Daniela Vega- a real-life transexual, with no lack of close-ups on her multifaceted expressions. Cinematography choices, supernatural sightings, dream sequences, and even a fantasy dance number combine for a unique magical realism tone. Acrostic is a form of poetry where the first letters in each line, paragraph, or word are also used to spell a name, phrase, or word. The word "acrostic" comes from the Greek words "akros" (outermost) and "stichos" (line of verse). Read the appropriate letters in the poem vertically to reveal the extra message, called the "acrostich"!

Knowing a little of the story before hand I was not holding great hopes for this evening's cinema excursion. However, I was most pleasantly surprised from the opening music which lead us the steamy interior of the sauna where slowly, in the background, naked bodies could be seen imerging from the low lit darkness. Indeed one of the beauties of the film is the wonderful camera work. The shot in the elevator was worth the price of the ticket alone. Daniela Varga is a great actress and has to hold the audience's attention as she appears in almost every scene. She certainly held me in the palm of her hand and I had difficulty not taking my eyes off her. Daniela further exploited her talents by doing her own singing. The acting was superb from all the supporting cast but it was Daniela's film, with the help of Sebastian Lelio, of course.
