Tangerine (2015) dir. Sean Baker
Sean Baker, Tangerine, 2015. iPhone, 1 hr 38 min.
Filmed on an iPhone 5 in Los Angeles, Tangerine follows two transgender sex workers as they search through West Hollywood for Sin-Dee’s cheating pimp boyfriend.
Tangerine takes the audience through their day as they do their daily street work, deal with abhorrent clients and other tribulations that come with their line of work. They meet people along the way that change their fate, and their day through the night ends up a disaster.
The film explores the underbelly of queer Los Angeles, while showing the importance of community.
