“Michael Dorsey, a demanding actor in decline, is desperate to get a role again. Not believing too much, she then decides to create a new persona: she will be Dorothy Michaels, a woman gifted with a strong personality. But his disguise will not only allow him to play in a TV series, but also attract a real audience of fans. If this new status does not please him, he soon finds himself faced with a dilemma: how to admit to his colleague Julie Nichols, who made him his confidant, that he is in fact a transvestite in love with her?“
On March 2, 1983, Tusi made his debut on our cinema screens. After 40 years, the American satirical romantic comedy is iconic and deserves to be celebrated: for this you have a limited and numbered Ultra Collector box that represents the film restored in 4K!
Directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange, among others, Tutsi was a major critical and box office success. The second-highest-grossing film of 1982, the year it was released in the United States, it was nominated for ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Jessica Lange won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
In addition, the Library of Congress deemed the film “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” in 1998 and thus selected it for inclusion in the National Register.
