“Merry Christmas Eve, Bitch”
Overview
Once a festival darling, now a Christmas classic, Sean Baker’s (Anora) slyly funny Tangerine follows two trans sex workers Sin-Dee and Alexandra (played by first time actors Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Talor) as they spend the night in LA. chasing the origins of a nasty rumour about Sin-Dee's pimp-cum-boyfriend. Along the way we meet their tricks, friends, and foes.
Why You Should See This Film
One of the funniest, boldest films of 2015, Tangerine was also shot entirely on a set of tricked-out iPhone 5s (now preserved at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures). The dialogue zips along as fast as Sin-Dee and Alexandra can pound the LA pavement, and the final scene in the donut shop (shot while the actual donut shop was still open to regular customers) really brings this incredible indie hit home.
BFFs
