A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

"Princesa" can be a tough film to watch. It is a film about a "travesti" from Brazil who becomes a prostitute in Italy in order to pay for her surgery.But the path she treads isn't an easy one. As you watch this film, you have to wonder if this is the same kind of thing that happens to most of the people in her same situation. Is this the tough reality they must face? A lot of the most powerful scenes are built around exactly that kind of thing and it often feels as if the film slows down at these moments just so the viewer can take it all in with a bit of extra time to think about it all.This film is definitely not for everyone. While it is a good film to try and understand the kind of trials transgender people have to face to get what they want, a way to be accepted by society through a sex change surgery, there are many scenes that depict what some would consider graphic interpretations of prostitution. Other than that, I highly recommend this film, as it gives us a view of one of the most underrepresented demographics in all of cinema.

Princsesa is a film based on a true story of a Brazillian transsexual who was dreaming to have a sex operation, which eventually lead her to do prostitution to make her dream come true. This film shows the realistic side of prostitution, how transvestites and transsexual work for money enable to survive, it shows how dark and miserable their lives are. Fernanda is one of the prostitutes that work in the streets of Milan, she wanted to earn a lot of money to support her sex change operation and also to support her family back in Brazil. This two main things are the reason why she moved to Milan until he met Gianni. Their love story was very romantic, and shows how even prostitutes may experience a true love from a stranger in the street. Fernanda was confident about herself that she is pretty enough to earn money for her sex change operation but this confidence fades away when she started to go out with Gianni. With Gianni, she felt the love of a real man to a woman but at the same time this love also made her feel that no matter how much Gianni loves her and even she go through a sex change she will never be a real woman because she cannot bear a child. This was the main reason why she decided to go back to the street and sacrifice her love for Gianni. Overall this movie is really a good one. It touches the reality of prostitution world, the differences of transvestite and transsexual and also the true love that can occur between a transsexual and a heterosexual.

Princesa follows the life of Fernanda a transvestite Brazilian prostitute living in Milan. She desires to have a sex change which leads her to work in the streets to support this decision. The film under the human drama genre follows the motives and emotional struggle Fernanda goes through living as a trans gender and prostitute. As her will of becoming a woman is becomes stronger, the barriers that come with being a transsexual/trans gender also hit her hard. As she falls in love with a straight man Gianni, and finds light in the darkness of society's perception and prejudice against her, her life seem to move in a positive and normal direction. But as the film moves forward, Fernanda realizes that a sex change would not give her what she's always wanted: to become a normal woman. The film covers the inner emotional journey a trans gender or transsexual goes through in association with society. The film in no way glamourizes or romanticizes the position transsexuals are put in society, but it explores and provides a point of view for an audience with no knowledge or little knowledge on the topic. It also portrays the environment and work that trans genders are drawn into because of society's lack of acceptance and opportunity. For someone who has little knowledge of the industry they work in, it was chaotic and overwhelming to process, but nonetheless very educational. Fernanda's relationship with Gianni was also covered in a way that allows the audience to understand Fernanda's identity as a woman. With Gianni, although their first encounter was as a client and prostitute, it clearly became clear their relationship was based on emotional attachment and pure attraction to each other. Although their relationship seemed healthy and equal, Fernanda was still hit with the reality and insecurity that she may never be the "True Woman" she wanted to.

As many readers know, I was heavily influenced in foreign film by a small channel in Los Angeles during the 1980's called the "Z" channel. Up until that time, I had never seen foreign films or considered them as entertainment. The channel is gone, but this would have been one of the films they would have shown. I say this because this film is not widely shown on cable channels and you have to be lucky to catch it.The central character, Princessa was from South America and was trying to find out whom Princessa as a transsexual was - and it's NOT a pretty road to do so. There's always someone taking advantage while you're trying to be who you are. Princessa travels to Milan to be something she always thought she should be and finding out "to thine own self be true".I found this story sad and moving and probably a very hard story to tell -- and once more, a story that others may be going through. This film is not for everyone, but a brave move to tell a story -- warts and all.
