  Ma vie en rose
Movie Review
 

Ma vie en rose (English translation: My Life in Pink) is a 1997 Belgian film directed by Alain Berliner. It tells the story of a boy named Ludovic, who believes that he should have been born a girl. The film shows the struggle over gender identity he and his family go through.

The film's title may be intended as a reference to the famous chanson La vie en rose. In the song, being en rose (in pink) means being in love, but in the film it refers to Ludovic's female gender identity.

The film features a European doll that is a clone of Barbie, named Le monde de Pam. The brand is fictional.

The tomboy girl near the end of the film has the same first name as screenwriter Chris Vander Stappen, who has written and directed several movies involving lesbian relationships.

Although internationally presented as a Belgian film due to the nationality of the director and screenwriter, the film is an international co-production between companies in Belgium, the UK and France, with the majority of the production work being done by the French independent film house Haut et Court, and the shooting taking place near Évry, south of Paris.

The color timing in the film is significant: it changes as parents exit from the school play, switching to cold blue tones.

The film was rated R by the MPAA, a controversial decision since it has no sexual content. Those opposed to the rating feel that it was based on the assumption that gender identity and sexual orientation are the same thing.

The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 55th Golden Globe Awards in 1998.
