3º – The Danish Girl (Tom Hooper, 2015)
Allocated in the first half of the twentieth century, the film tells the story of a man who, after playing a joke with his wife and dressing as a woman, ends up becoming obsessed with the details of feminine beauty. We will gain the substance of the plot by unraveling the struggle of the central character to assume his feminine persona, in view of a society extremely prejudiced at the time. Impeccable from beginning to end, ‘The Danish Girl’ has a story that stems from unparalleled subtlety, as well as small sad specters that move the viewer. It is also worth highlighting the beautiful performance of Eddie Redmayne ahead of the central character.
