Ma vie en Rose

DIRECTED BY: Alain Berliner

REVIEWED: 03-09-98

Ma Vie en Rose (My Life in Pink) is an original little movie from Belgium about a 7-year-old boy who's thoroughly convinced that he would rather be a girl. Ludovic's (Georges Du Fresne) cross-dressing antics are received with tolerance at first; but with time, parents school mates and neighbors learn to hate the tyke for being different. Filmed in bright, splashy colors, with a lot of ultra-femme dream sequences on the pink planet of a Barbie-esque character named Pam, Ma Vie en Rose has the sweet, harmless look of a store-bought birthday cake. This stands in stark contrast to the gritty disintegration of Ludovic's family, who find themselves buckling to peer pressure in the community. Though adults in the family get to change and grow, poor little Ludovic basically gets booted around through the whole thing, which is kind of hard to watch.
