Astonishing Mexican film - a musical (of sorts) about a drug warlord who decides to disappear and transition to become a woman, leaving behind his trophy wife and their children. He's helped by a desperate and cynical criminal lawyer who finds herself helping the corrupt rich and powerful to evade the law and the consequences of their choices, and takes the job helping the warlord.
It's often terrifying, as it should be - the world of drug warlords is full of violence and terror. But it's also very clever, and depicts brilliantly a number of complex emotional journeys. And it's often stunning to look at too.
So good that we watched it twice within a month, which I almost never do.
Watched on Netflix - I think it was one of their originals.
