Una mujer fantástica (A Fantastic Woman) is a 2017 film by Sebastián Lelio (who also made Gloria) that was awarded the Oscar for best foreign-language film in 2018.Marina is a transgender woman whose much older partner, Orlando, quickly dies of natural causes. Through the rest of the movie she has to deal with the police, who still suspect foul play, as well as with Orlando's family, who are less than accepting of his last romance and want to negate Marina's common law rights regarding him.It became particularly well known for having a transgender actress in the lead role, the highly-acclaimed Daniela Vega. | |

May–December Romance | |
| A Fantastic Woman / int_234fa9ba | comment |
May–December Romance: The age difference for the characters of Marina and Orlando, made a specific plot point when Orlando's family basically think she's a gold-digger who gave up waiting (the actors are 35 years apart). | |

| A Fantastic Woman / int_44e64e96 | comment |
Female Gaze: Invoked, as the female police inspector requires Marina to show her naked body. What the viewer sees is the reaction of the police inspector (as well as that of the male photographer). | |

Staircase Tumble | |
| A Fantastic Woman / int_54adb6a3 | comment |
Staircase Tumble: Orlando, who is very ill, is left by Marina near the staircase. He tumbles toward the stairs, reaches the stairs and falls down. It is implied that it does not harm him much as he dies soon after by another cause. | |

Sheet of Glass: Subverted. Marina is walking down the street as a sheet of glass is being unloaded from a truck: she appraises her reflection, and the glass is simply carried away. | |

Noble Bigot with a Badge: Detective Cortes. She talks down to Marina and patronizes her because of her gender identity, but once it becomes clear that there was no foul play on Marina's part, she lets her go without any problems. | |

One-Hour Work Week: Marina is a waitress, being briefly shown working on two occasions; both times something distracts her from waiting tables. Of course, her job in this film is not much of a plot point. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| A Fantastic Woman / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: A rather gratuitous example. Marina is in hurry and gets into a taxi that is already occupied. She tells him to get out, and he replies that he is in a hurry. Then Marina deadpans that she is also in a hurry and the man obediently leaves. Also when Marina jumps on the roof of a car that has three of Orlando's family members in it (including Bruno, who earlier let his two friends bully her). The people in the car get frightened and abandon it. | |

Hand-or-Object Underwear: When Marina takes a bath her private parts are covered by a mirror that she's holding, so instead of genitals, the reflection of her face in the mirror is shown. | |

Mood Whiplash: The scene where Marina is kidnapped by the son of her deceased lover and his two accomplices. They rough her up and throw her out into the street. The film is not at all violent anywhere else. | |

Berserk Button: Marina becomes noticeably angry whenever anyone brings up her gender in conversation. Though this mostly manifests as Tranquil Fury. Obviously, as a completely naturalized and happy transgender woman, this is justified. | |

Hate Sink: Bruno, the only major character who is openly bigoted and goes out of his way to be as cruel to Marina as humanly possible. Even Sonia is willing to leave Marina be as long as she leaves her family alone, and clearly mostly resents Marina simply for taking Orlando away from her. | |
