Movie Reviews of Trantasia
Movie Review: Operation Pantyhose
Summary: 4 Stars
Fascinating look at a Vegas beauty pageant for transsexuals. . .but probably not in ways some contestants ever imagined. Although contest was ostensibly held to promote transgender acceptance (or so most of the entrants keep insisting), this high-minded "cause" somehow gets lost in the shuffle as the garishly made-up gals parade up and down Vegas Strip in porn star/hooker attire, accost tourists with fliers for their contest, unbutton shirts of male vacationers while delivering ribald come-ons and flaunt boob jobs to gaping poolsiders.
Aside from thoughtful looks at backgrounds of several contestants (including photos of pre-op boyhoods) and their families, pretty much unfolds like a real-life sex-change version of Showgirls, complete with plenty of boobs, bare butts and (following announcement of winner) bitchy banter galore.
Nice companion piece The Queen, a 1968 documentary about a New York transvestite pageant--to which it is nearly identical, give or take some reconstructed genitalia.
Summary of Trantasia
TRANTASIA is a no-holds-barred behind-the-scenes look at the first-ever World s Most Beautiful Transsexual Pageant.' With a starring role in a sensational new Vegas Revue as a high-stakes backdrop, TRANTASIA explores the intensely private and moving stories of its extraordinary contestants. Told through provocative hometown profiles and heartbreaking one-on-one interviews, the film documents the often humorous, always personal journeys of these true survivors. United by common histories of hardship and persecution, these women will finally realize their diva dreams. Their ultimate triumph is a moving celebration of the human spirit.Documentary DVD Video
