Happy New Year to all of our followers! Our first screening of 2018 is here. Presenting the 2018 Golden Globe and Berlin award nominated, A Fantastic Woman. https://www.picturehouses.com/cinema/Clapham_Picturehouse/film/a-fantastic-woman Below is the write up from the Clapham Picturehouse website "Best known to international audiences for his acclaimed fourth film, Gloria (2013) - which garnered Paulina Garca the Best Actress Award at the Berlin International Film Festival - Argentinian born, Chilean director Sebastin Lelio turns after a four-year absence with A Fantastic Woman. Featuring another stellar lead performance, Lelios latest feature stars Daniela Vega as Marina, a transwoman dealing with grief, transphobia and cold, humiliating bureaucracy. A vision of defiant resistance, Marinas trials are kick-started by the death of her lover, Orlando (Francisco Reyes). Having to inform Orlandos family of the tragedy, Marina is met with suspicion and hostility due to her status as a trans-woman. Instead of being comforted during her grief, Marina finds herself having to fight for her home, her rights and even custody of a beloved pet dog. Provocatively queer and female-centred, the Almodovaresque A Fantastic Woman is also deeply intelligent, sexy and tender.!
