Release Year: 2007
Synopsis:
"A groundbreaking portrayal of gender, identity and the unshakeable bonds of twinship. Identical twins Mark and Alex have always defined themselves in terms of each other. But when Alex decides to undergo a sex change operation, Mark starts to question his own sense of being. We follow the twins over three years as Alex slowly metamorphosizes into a woman named Clair. Filmed in a fragmented, haunting style by a family friend, this is a wrenchingly candid, dreamy film.
"Red Without Blue" is a powerful documentary about twins--one is a gay man, the other is transitioning to womanhood. Mark and Alex were incredibly close as children. They had the bond of twins, and still do. Mark faces Alex's transition to Claire with difficulty. He has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that his beloved brother is becoming his sister. There's beautiful music from Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons (Hegarty deems himself transsexual, though he never has had surgery)- The Crying Light, I am a Bird Now, and Antony and the Johnsons. Antony's unearthly, ethereal singing accompanies the documentary. He powerfully sings, "Today I am a boy, one day I will be a beautiful woman."
