Ma Vie en Rose

In Ma Vie en Rose directed by Alain Berliner,  Ludovic, played by Georges Du Fresne is convinced he's a girl trapped in a boy's body. Its an interesting portrayal of the transgendered plight as Ludovic faces intolerance and criticism for wearing girl’s clothes at a family barbecue and performing in Snow White. Ludovic is serene in his assertion that there was a mistake made in his chromosomes, and he will be the one to correct it. It is very similar to all about my mother in terms of politics, with a cinematic french twist, allowing for more aesthetic camera angles and editing.
