There's an interesting award winning Argentinean movie out called 'XXY' which is out on DVD.

The film has received widespread critical acclaim since its 2007 release. XXY has received twenty different awards in total and won the Critics Week Grand Prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and the ACID/CCAS Support Award.

It received three awards during the 2008 Argentine Film Critics Association Awards including Best Film.

I have seen this film, and to be honest it wasn't that bad.

I read some articles about it. It would be helpful if the writers/producers/whatevers would realise that hermaphrodite is an unhelpful word, and they should use intersex. As well as not give more grounds to call anyone a "he-she."

i might watch the actual movie one day- but right now, the memories would not be so nice. ^^;
