Title: Movie
Post by: andyg0404 on September 15, 2018, 04:45:41 PM

Hi,

Just read about a French film due in the United States in the middle of November. It's about a transgender teenager who wants to be a ballerina.

This is the IMDB page for the movie with some photos.

This is the trailer, it's in French.

Thanks. It looks like a cool movie. I see it's been showing at film festivals since May, but no mainstream distributors have picked it up yet. If it isn't picked up by theaters in Europe by October, we may never see it here in the USA. But being in French, we might be able to order the disk from Canada after the new year.

It appears Netflix bought the North and Latin American rights to stream the film. So we may never see it here until Netflix is ready to show it, & of course, you have to be a subscriber.

It's not on the Usenet or torrents yet.
