All About My Father

NEW DOCS

This Norwegian film uses understatement and riveting technique to carefully handle the subject of cross-dressing. A shocking revelation at the start of the film drives the narrative: Esben/Esther explores his/her double identity while family members gamely play their roles for the camera. The filmmaker’s inner turmoil fuses with a documentarian’s inquisitiveness and appreciation for his charismatic main character. An intimate view of private lives and family relationships.  NK
