Laurence Anyways – Presented by Screen Queens
Lawrence Anyways
Director: Xavier Dolan
Rated: no classification
Duration: 165 mins
Spanning the 1980s and 1990s, Xavier Dolan’s queer opus intertwines the story of Frédérique and Laurence’s love with Laurence’s transition. Operatic, flamboyant, baroque and rebellious, the film is an unflinching yet celebratory telling of a transgender woman’s life. The film breaks through and away from a standard “issues” approach, and we’re proud to show a film about people, not just about issues.
Hot Chicks with Big Brains would like to acknowledge and thank Brisbane Pride Festival for the funding support our Screen Queens initiative received under the Kal Collins Memorial Fund. We are now working with Open Doors to engage young LGBTQIA+ people in these screenings.
