| TWO BRIDES AND A SCALPEL |
TWO BRIDES AND A SCALPEL: DIARY OF A LESBIAN MARRIAGE Kanada, 1999, 55min REGIE/PRODUZENT: Mark Achbar DARSTELLER: Georgina Scott, Linda Fraser TWO BRIDES AND A SCALPEL plaudert aus dem Tagebuch einer Ehe: Linda und Georgie leben und lieben als einzig legal verheiratetes lesbisches Paar Kanadas. Der Trauschein wurde erworben, bevor sich die transsexuelle Georgie der Geschlechtsumwandlung unterziehen durfte. Regisseur Marc Achbars dichte Dokumentation profitiert vor allem vom Charme der glücklich Verliebten, berichtet aber auch von den Schattenseiten ihres Weges, der von Diskriminierung und Ängsten gekennzeichnet war. ********************* One day, George Scott walked into the lunchroom in full makeup. Who cared if he'd been driving a tractor at the pulp mill for 20 years? Simply put, he couldn't live a lie any longer: George came out as a transsexual. During his two years of hormone treatment, George, now living full-time as Georgina, met and fell in love with outspoken lesbian Linda Fraser. Linda and Georgina soon married and, practically as a honeymoon, Georgina went under the knife. Voilà Canada's first legally married lesbian couple. Shot over two years, Linda and Georgina captured this strange and beautiful trip on video, using a camera given to them by their neighbor Mark Achbar (codirector, Noam Chomsky: Manufacturing Consent). The resulting diary is an intimate window into the lives of two honest, vibrant, and extraordinary individuals |
