"The film "The Danish Girl," which stars Eddie Redmayne as Lili Elbe, one of the first people known to have undergone gender reassignment surgery, opens on Nov. 27.

"Danish" co-stars Alicia Vikander as Elbe's wife as well as Amber Heard and Ben Whishaw.

After playing at various festivals, the film itself has gotten mixed reviews, but Redmayne and Vikander's performances have garnered Oscar buzz. Redmayne won the Oscar for best actor last year for his work portraying Stephen Hawking in the 2014 film "The Theory of Everything.""
