The Crying Game
There's not enough space to summarize The Crying Game here--a lauded film that broke new ground in its portrayal of trans people on screen, despite its problematic recycling of toxic and dangerous tropes. Do your homework before seeing it for the first time.
Irish Republican Army member Fergus forms an unexpected bond with Jody, a kidnapped British soldier in his custody, despite the warnings of fellow IRA members Jude and Maguire. Jody makes Fergus promise he’ll visit his girlfriend, Dil, in London, and when Fergus flees to the city, he seeks her out. Hounded by his former IRA colleagues, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the enigmatic, and surprising, Dil.
