Port Authority
(USA-France, 2019)
Direction: Danielle Lessovitz. Language: English. With Greek subtitles. 94΄.
Port Authority bus terminal is a grim place, inundated with have-nots and transients who first experience the notorious Big Apple cruelty. Paul, a youngster from Pittsburgh, is looking to start over, but his hopes disintegrate, as his stepsister Sara -whom he has never met in person- doesn’t show up to collect him. Instead of succumbing to panic, Paul throws himself in the city jungle, struggling to find his way. Once he falls for Wye, a charming trans woman, Paul is forced to embark on a struggle of stereotype-deconstructing, forging his own worldview, in this vehement and palpable journey of self-discovery.
