Alexis Arquette: She’s My Brother

Director: Matthew Barbato & Nikki Parrott

UK 2007| 70 mins


At around age 30, Alexis Arquette (brother of Patricia and Rosanna Arquette) and indie movie star began living life as a woman. What started out as cross-dressing performance art became a way of life as he discovered he was a woman trapped inside a man’s body. This richly textured documentary is an intriguing look at sex and a side of celebrity life rarely seen. Filled with drag queens and Hollywood glitterati, it is actually a serious movie about transgendered life as Alexis reveals a more private side, grappling with the process of sex reassignment.
