A Soap (2006)

A beautiful film
13 May 2006
This film is a very beautiful and slow film. There is nothing Hollywood about it. It is very danish and the characters are very real. It is the first danish film to take up this transsexual theme. It is really about love that has no gender. I would not say it is about lesbian love even though the two main characters (the transsexual veronika and Charlotte) are attracted to each other. It is a story about love and life.

The story pretty much takes place in the two apartments. There is almost no background music, which makes it seem more real and intense. The two actors playing the main characters are great. They really make them seem real. They are not archetypes, but real people you could meet in the street. I think it is the first time I have seen a transsexual portrayed this well. Very well done.

A very touching film
29 March 2006
I thought this film was so touching and one of the best films I have seen for a long time. Everything about it is so beautiful. The first couple of weeks after I saw it, I couldn't seem to get it out of my thoughts. It really made me think about how important it is to live life to the fullest. All the actors were great, the music was great.

The film is not a gay western, as many people think, it is a film about love and about life. I hope it will make people see the importance of not being too afraid to live their lives, and afraid to love because they are afraid of loosing too much. This film really shows that if you do not live out of fear of loosing everything, then you will do exactly that: Loose everything.
