September 1, 2015 Ali Danish Girl, Video Leave a Comment

The first trailer for Eddie Redmayne’s transgender drama “The Danish Girl” has arrived online.

“I believe that I am a woman,” Redmayne’s character tells his wife in the teaser. “And I believe you too,” she says supportively.

Redmayne plays Danish artist Einar Wegener, later known as Lili Elbe — one of the first people to undergo a sex-change operation. The trailer begins with the early days of their marriage, when Einar’s wife, Greta (played by Alicia Vikander), painted him in drag. The lines get blurred when Einar kisses a man in secret during an evening out with Greta.

“This is not my body, I have to let it go,” Einar later says before undergoing a life-threatening sex-change surgery.

The film, based on David Ebershoff’s 2001 novel of the same name, reteams Redmayne with his “Les Miserables” director, Tom Hooper. Lucinda Coxon wrote the screenplay.

Matthias Schoenaerts and Amber Heard also star in the 1920s-set romance drama.

With transgender issues currently in the spotlight following reality star Caitlyn Jenner’s public transition, the film is generating Oscar buzz for both its Academy Award-winning star and director.

“The Danish Girl,” from Working Title Films and Focus Features, debuts at the Venice Film Festival this week and screens at the Toronto Film Festival in a few weeks before hitting theaters on Nov. 27.
