Paolo Barbera and director Tom Hooper
Director’s Statement. "Ever since I was a teenager, making silent films
with my clockwork 16mm Bolex camera, I have dreamt of having a film at the
Venice Film Festival. I am honored to come for the first time with The danish Girl. I fell for this story when I was directing The
King’s Speech. I wept when I first read Lucinda Coxon’s beautiful script,
and have carried that memory with me and wanted to honor it in the making of
the film. Lili Elbe is an inspiration in the courage she showed to overcome the
blocks to her true self. Her wife Gerda is moving in her compassion and
unconditional love. Their marriage made the revealing of Lili possible."
