Bertrand Bonello's TIRESIA
Controversial French director Bertrand Bonello's (The Pornographer) 2003 project Tiresia is set to arrive on August 22 courtesy of Tartan UK. The film was nominated with a Palm d'Or at the Cannes film festival.
Film summary courtesy of A. Verdade:
"Tiresia is at the same time woman and man, according to Greek Mythology. Here, Tiresia is a Brazilian transexual living with her brother in the outskirts of Paris. Terranova, an admirer of aesthetics, is a dreamer. His obsession with Tiresia leads him to kidnapping her. However, without her regular dose of hormones, Tiresia gradually starts to change back to a male. Displeased, Terranova blinds Tiresia and abandons her in the countryside. There, Anna takes charge of Tiresia, helping her recover."
Ciao,
