Influenced by Almodovar

It can be seen that the Chilean director was deeply influenced by the master Almodovar, regardless of the subject matter, whether it is the use of accidental death to elicit the storyline, or the eerie and eerie atmosphere under the calm narrative, and even the last string of keys. The designs are all branded with the distinctive Almodovar mark. In fact, the storyline is not too fresh. If the protagonist in the play is replaced by an ordinary woman, it will be a soap opera configuration on a bad street. Undoubtedly, the core character of transgender people has played an extremely important role in promoting the development of the plot, and the director uses this to reveal the different attitudes of society towards this group, with a certain reflection and criticism. However, the design of some plots is suspected of being too dramatic, which cannot hide the deliberately exaggerated gestures in the script. The heroine's performance is the biggest attraction. From the heartache of losing her lover, to her tenacity against the outside world, and finally to her calm relief, she wonderfully reveals the woman's delicate mind and character change.

A Fantastic Woman quotes

  • Profesor de Canto: Saint Francis says, Make me an instrument of your love, make me a channel of your peace.

  • Sonia: [to Marina] Sorry if it's crude and blunt of me to say this, but I really think that this is just perversion. Sorry, but... When I look at you, I don't know what I'm seeing. A chimera, that's what I see.

    Marina Vidal: A chimera... yeah.

    Sonia: Sorry.

    Marina Vidal: There's no need to be sorry. You're normal, ma'am. You're fine, ma'am.
