Cult Movie Mondays: Tangerine (2015)🏳️🌈 Pride Month at TicTic — Celebrating Queer Cinema 🏳️⚧️
🗓 Monday, June 8 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Directed by Sean Baker, Tangerine is a fast-moving, chaotic, and deeply human portrait of friendship and survival unfolding across one Christmas Eve in Los Angeles. Shot entirely on iPhone 5s cameras, the film follows transgender sex worker Sin-Dee Rella as she storms through Hollywood searching for the boyfriend who has betrayed her, accompanied by her best friend Alexandra. The film stars Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor in breakthrough performances filled with humour, anger, vulnerability, and charisma.
Baker’s filmmaking captures the energy of the streets with immediacy and empathy, while avoiding the voyeuristic framing often associated with stories about marginalised communities. As part of TicTic’s celebration of queer cinema throughout Pride Month, Tangerine remains a landmark independent film — both for its technical experimentation and for placing trans women of colour at the centre of a story that is funny, messy, abrasive, and full of life.
“One of the most exhilarating American films of the decade.”
— Rolling Stone
“Fierce, hilarious and unexpectedly moving.”
— The New York Times
