Ma vie en rose

Introduced by critic/author Caden Mark Gardner; followed by book-signing 

Dir. Alain Berliner. France/Belgium/United Kingdom. 1997, 88 mins. 35mm. A young trans child, Ludo (Georges Du Fresne), explores their gender identity and faces harsh transphobic fallout from family and community alike in wanting to express their feminine side. Ma vie en rose presents a message that remains sadly prescient for trans children and their families. Despite its essentially realist core, the film explores Ludo’s imagination with a touch of magical realism. For Ludo, it is through their Barbie-like doll Pam that the “the world as I want it” takes shape. Winner of the Golden Globe for Best Foreign-Language Film, Berliner’s film saw its message and reach in the United States curbed due to an R rating.
