Boy Meets Girl (2014)
Moving and funny
I'm mom of a transgender young adult, female to male. While issues of transgender females are slightly different from those of transgender males, I thought that this film rang true. The main characters have a lot of nuances to them and the father is a great role model of love and acceptance.
Aside from all that, the movie's really entertaining, not necessarily predictable, and was really enjoyable to watch. Amazing that it's Michelle's first feature!
I am really happy to know that there are movies of this quality with transgender characters played by transgender actors.
Primo amore (1978)
it took 20 years to find this much info -- very funny film, bittersweet
I saw this film twice on my first trip to Italy (my first European trip, so it already was magical) and loved it, which was high praise, since I'd only been studying Italian for a few months, on my own. As I remember, it's the story of a man in an old actors home who wins a lottery, and runs away with a pretty worker from the home. He is taken advantage of, I remember, but exactly how...? I have looked for this film on video, and I think United Artists may offer it, but perhaps only in Europe. I would love to see it again...Ugo Tognazzi was a wonderful actor, and expressed many things simultaneously, as he did in La Cage Aux Folles. Lucky you if you can see the movie. I was in love with my Primo [Italian] Amore at the time, so perhaps memory has sweetened recollection. But I think it was lots of fun to watch.
