Gender identity at core of two Toronto films
TORONTO — Eddie Redmayne and Elle Fanning are joining Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox in educating pop culture about gender identity.
In director Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl (in theaters Nov. 27), Redmayne stars as Lili Elbe, an icon in the LGBT community and the first person known to receive gender-reassignment surgery in 1930. In a more contemporary tale, Fanning plays a transgender boy whose family has trouble coming to grips with his gender identity in About Ray, expected in theaters this fall. Both movies are featured at Toronto International Film Festival.
