At the movies: no regrets

http://yellowscene.com/2011/02/19/at-the-movies-no-regrets/Yesterday afternoon, I wandered into the Boulder International Film Festival showing of The Regretters, an interesting, subtle documentary about two Swedish men who underwent sexual reassignment surgeries to become female. While they were stuanchly different personalities, they both had one thing in common: they regretted their decision. Gender confused and so very lost, the men discuss and interview eachother about their decisions, about their time as young boys, about their time as women and about their lives now—one had reconstructive surgery and the other is in the process of having reconstructive surgery.
It's one of those films that doesn't knock you over the head. It's not all flash and pizzazz. But there is something magnetic about it; there's a sweet charm to these men and there's something alltogether otherwordly about their stories.
