Few films centring on transgender characters has had as much impact as Tangerine – after make a big splash at Sundance it won gongs at everything from the Deauville Film Festival to the Independent Spirit Awards. It’s also believed to be the first movie where a distributor actively campaigned for a transgender to be nominated for an Oscar, although sadly neither Mya Taylor nor Kitana Kiki Rodriguez got one.
Now Tangerine is out on DVD in the UK via Metrodome, and we’ve got three copies to give away.
It’s Christmas Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) is back on the block. Upon hearing that her pimp boyfriend (James Ransone) hasn’t been faithful during the 28 days she was locked up, the working girl and her best friend, Alexandra (Mya Taylor), embark on a mission to get to the bottom of the scandalous rumour. Their rip-roaring odyssey leads them through various subcultures of Los Angeles, including an Armenian family dealing with their own repercussions of infidelity.
Director Sean Baker’s prior films (Starlet, Prince Of Broadway) brought rich texture and intimate detail to worlds seldom seen on film. Tangerine follows suit, bursting off the screen with energy and style. A decidedly modern Christmas tale told on the streets of L.A., Tangerine defies expectation at every turn.
