Spanish Transsexual Film (http://www.pridesource.com/article.shtml?article=%2020541)
If Pedro Almodovar had directed "Transamerica, " it would have been "20 Centimeters. " And it would not have been seen by nearly the
number of moviegoers. Monica Cervera, who plays the film's ->-bleeped-<- star Marieta, is no Felicity Huffman, for one thing. And "20
Centimeters" is even more phallus-centered than its American counterpart.
"20 Centimeters, " though leaning heavily on its own cross-your-legs- and-bite-your- nails premise, is really a film about character: being true to yourself and being who you want to be, even when the cost is high.
I think all of us can relate to the last statement...
