The Danish Girl (2015) Edit

A bog in violet.

A confused state of identity.

A digestif, Hans?

A farmhouse?

A friend, is coming to town, Ulla Fonsmarck

A lake?

A poetette?

A real woman?

Absolutely!

After a bout of severe nosebleeds,

Against the wishes of my colleagues of course.

Ah.. she's got a shy one.

All portraits.

Almost.

Alright, you need to tell me when...

Although I believe there is some pleasure to be had from it,

Always plotting to get away!

Am I pretty enough?

An irreversible change

And a high risk of failure,

And after...

And become anyone you want for a day.

And don't worry, I won't disappear into the bog.

And give Gerda some space.

And he smacked Hans down.

And he was wearing his grandmother's apron

And I believe it too.

And I have to let him go.

And I think you might be the same.

And I will sleep all the way through it.

And I'm going to find an answer.

And it will do him good.

And remember, making a purchase from Fonnesbech,

And she called me Lili.

And she propositioned me.

And she was sitting on the steps, flaunting said ankles.

And she was sitting on the steps, flaunting said ankles.

And the narrowest hips in the whole store.

And the passion...

And then she would walk through it. Voila

And there's more...

And vanish

And who are different.

And will you be able to have children after?

And you were the only one that would let him paint in peace.

And you would look out together,

And you?

And you've been two of them.

Another headache?

Anything.

Anyway,

Are together, They what, they...

Are you a reporter?

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Are you here with someone, Lili?

Are you still angry at me?

Are you sure about tonight?

Ask your permission before I kissed you.

At least take an umbrella.

At the same time.

At your disposal.

Away.

Beautiful...

Because you can't talk to me.

Besides, I'm a romantic.

Better than I ever did.

Beyond the fjord to the sea,

Bought you these.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.

But for a man... to...

But he is in the top one.

But I can't go on living without knowing who I am.

But I don't think it's anything new.

But I promised Einar That I would take care of you.

But I think you're probably right.

But I'd like you to ask nicely, so that I'm not such a pushover...

But I'm glad he did.

But I've been watching you,

But it's only the thought that I'd be killing Lili too, that stops me.

But now that I'm back, I can sit for you.

But Professor Warnekros will help me get better

But then my father came in and he caught them,

But then...

But there's so little of Einar left.

But we went.. coffee,

But what you draw, I become.

But you probably don't remember.

But, he won't be your husband, when I've finished.

But...

Can I borrow a night dress?

Can I get you anything?

Can I go outside...

Can I take you to dinner?

Can we not do it another time?

Can you at least try?

Can you work yourself bigger?

Can't you just get him?

Close your eyes.

Coincide with the stomach cramps,

Come here.

Come on, HVAP.

Come on.

Come on.

Come, come, come!

Come.

Come...

Could you help me with something?

D'you know, I don't know.

Did a doctor say that?

Did I do this to you?

Did I wake you?

Did it go well?

Did Lili have fun?

Didn't it work?

Dinner at La Delphine at 8, then ack here to see the paintings.

Do you enjoy working at Fonnesbech?

Do you know the story of this oak tree?

Do you know what time it is?

Do you want to resist me?

Do you want to try one more?

Does he abandon you often?

Doesn't make sense to me. I'm hardly working.

Don't go back in. It's... cooler out here

Don't worry,

Don't worry, my darling.

Einar Einar......... Einar?

Einar Wegener!

Einar Wegener!

Einar.

Einar...

Einar... my God...

Einar's a painter too.

Einar's cousin from home.

Einar's cousin from Vejle.

Einar's still stricken with guilt about your kite.

Elbe...

Entirely myself.

Even back in Vejle.

Every 2 hours. And I need to eat something first.

Every morning

Everything will be all right.

Everything will work out for us

Exactly what happened between you and Sandahl last night?

Excuse me...

Exquisite!

Fine.

Fine.

For goodness sake, Gerda, Einar is dead.

For my sake.

For now at least...

For now.

For these...

For what we are attempting,

For you, I mean.

Forward.

Gerda Wegener,

Gerda,

Gerda,

Gerda, I know what I'm doing.

Gerda, this is your moment.

Gerda, will you come?

Gerda!

Gerda?

Gerda.

Gerda...

Gerda...

Get some rest. Good night.

Give you what you want.

Giving them your... Einar Wegener.

Go as someone else?

Go talk to her.

Go. Go before they come over.

Good girl.

Good luck everybody.

Good luck.

Good morning!

Good night.

Hans Axgil.

Hans!

Hans?

Hans?

Hans.

Have I offended you?

Have you seen Einar? I can't find him.

Have you tried to drink raw eggs?

He almost snagged it.

He doesn't know I'm here.

He found it exciting.

He is curing the sickness that is my disguise.

He kissed her. Just once.

He lost a lot of blood. Now we are struggling to keep the fever down.

He may have known who I was. But I wasn't always m me.

He might be waiting for us, and he wouldn't like... this.

He needs a friend.

He needs someone to represent him.

He regained consciousness very briefly.

He remembers you with great fondness.

He runs the women's clinic in Dresden.

He said that you wouldd sit,

He told me that back in Vejle,

He used to sketch my portrait.

He was looked so pretty in that, I had to kiss him!

He was so angry.

He was so shy, so I asked him out.

He's actually an art dealer in Paris

He's excited

He's expecting you,

He's in the top one! '

He's lost his way.

He's not working.

He's not working.

He's often in Paris. Just talk to him.

He's only ever had eyes for one woman.

He's only ever had eyes for one woman.

He's so thin.

He's.

He'ss interested in men like Einar,

Head up!

Head up!

Head up.

Hello?

Hello.

Henrik and Lili...

Henrik Sandahl.

Here and here.

Here let me try.

Here, take this, there's a chill in the air.

Here.

Here...

Hold him up.

How are you feeling this morning?

How are you Lili?

How are you, ma'am?

How are you?

How could I?

How do you feel?

How have I ever deserved such love?

How long have you been married?

How was it?

I agree with Einar,

I am a specialist, Mr. Wegener. You may be embarrassed,

I am are slow to change.

I am going to try.

I am still Einar's wife.

I am...

I appreciate our being alone

I asked him.

I believe so.

I believe that I'm a woman...

I believe you were a childhood friend of my husband.

I bet he still sits on that rock

I can come back another time if you think Einar would prefer it.

I can feel myself getting better when I listen to your pencil.

I can't hold the buyer's much longer, I'm sorry.

I can't just now.

I can't remember the landscape anymore.

I can't remember Vejle.

I can't travel just now.

I can't.

I can't.

I could see his being here made you.. uncomfortable.

I couldn't do that.

I couldn't let Gerda see me like this.

I couldn't risk you saying no.

I couldn't sleep.

I didn't think you'd come.

I didn't.

I do believe I can help your husband.

I do not know what to say.

I do not know why Rasmussen gave you my number,

I do sort of enjoy being part of it..

I do.

I don't handle any contemporary art.

I don't know how to hold on to you any longer.

I don't know how you can paint the same thing over and over

I don't know what to do.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know... there may be a market.

I don't like all these lies.

I don't mean to presume,

I don't need to do this. There's nothing wrong with me.

I don't really know what kind of help I need,

I don't think anyone is likely to be corrupted by seeing my ankles.

I don't think he noticed, did you?

I don't think he'd like me asking for help.

I don't think I can...

I don't think it will benefit either of us to show these

I don't think so.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't want to upset you.

I dreamed that I was a baby in my mother's arms.

I drill small holes...

I finally managed to get the colour for the snow.

I had a coffee with Ulla.

I had a letter from Hexler.

I had the most beautiful dream

I have a new dealer coming over later.

I have enough interest now to mount a whole show.

I have some macaroons in my bag already.

I have to be honest.

I have to have a life of my own.

I haven't got long.

I hope so.

I hope that your husband does not mind.

I imagine not.

I know it was Einar. But really...

I know it.

I know this.

I know.

I know.

I listened to you very carefully and I'm afraid it's not good news.

I love you.

I might enjoy that.

I might let you borrow it.

I miss you working beside me.

I miss you.

I need him.

I need my husband.

I need to talk to my husband. I need to hold my husband.

I need you to rest. Gain some weight.

I prefer the shadows.

I promise myself that I will spend the entire day as Einar.

I pursued his case...

I said don't you wish you could paint like your husband?

I saw those in the window at Fonnesbech.

I should go and find Gerda.

I sold the Lili portraits!

I still am.

I suppose I just haven't finished with it yet

I think I got out just in time.

I think it would be better if Lili didn't come here again.

I think my work's a little introspective for French taste.

I think someone ought to.

I thought I wouldn't have anythin to write.

I thought you might not come back.

I told him I could operate. To make him fully a woman.

I want to hear more about you, Hans.

I want to sketch you.

I wanted to tell you

I was always pretty.

I was joking.

I was wondering where you were.

I watched him kiss you, Einar, so could you please make an effort?

I won't be seeing you again.

I won't be shy.

I won't help you to hurt yourself.

I, I don't want a new dealer.

I... I made us a little supper.

I'd like you to meet him.

I'll do it.

I'll help you find someone.

I'll never be as pretty as you.

I'll.

I'm afraid your husband's aberrant thinking persists.

I'm curious to see what you would paint, that's all.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm going back to Dresden for the second operation.

I'm going to be fine.

I'm going to get some fresh air.

I'm happy, helping you.

I'm here now.

I'm here.

I'm ill inside.

I'm just so behind. I do not know how I'll be finished in time for her opening.

I'm married to Einar Wegener.

I'm not angry at you,

I'm not going.

I'm not sure I can.

I'm not.

I'm so sorry that Einar couldn't be here.

I'm so sorry...

I'm sorry I've not been to see you before.

I'm sorry, I don't know what happened...

I'm sorry, I know that we agreed no more but...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm worried about you.

I'm your wife.

I'm, sorry?

I've been asked to exhibit in Paris.

I've been on my own a long time now, I'm...

I've made a decision.

I've made up my mind, Gerda.

I've met another... man like you.

If he ever gets here.

If it hadn't been for the paintings...

If you found the right subject matter.

If you thought that everything would be the same afterwards.

In Paris, wants to represent you.

In Paris, you see a lady would never dream of

Infections,

Inside me.

Inside.

Intervened...

Into the bog.

Is a chemical imbalance?

Is Einar here?

Is not merely shopping, it's an experience.

Is the best landscape Denmark,

Is there something you'd like to know?

Is there something you'd like to tell me?

It could be terrible not to... I'm so.. will you excuse me?

It destroyst the bad and saves the good.

It didn't take much to be different in Vejle.

It does help...

It does not matter what I wear.

It feels strange, going dressed like this.

It is hard on someone else..

It was handmade and and I've had it since I was 4!

It was like kissing myself.

It was that boy, Hans...

It was you... and me.

It wasn't

It wasn't as simple as that.

It would be terrible not to

It's a complex surgery.

It's a good crowd.

It's a lesbian.

It's alright,

It's alright.

It's alright.

It's an old habit.

It's fine I'll do it.

It's fine.

It's getting late.

It's getting late.

It's going very well.

It's good to be seen at those things, I do understand that.

It's Hans Axgil.

It's hard for a man to be looked at by a woman.

It's Lili!

It's my only hope.

It's new.

It's not a judgement on your abilities

It's not so long ago ... that you and I were married.

It's not uncommon.

It's not what you think.

It's nothing.

It's only a week.

It's only a week.

It's perfect for you.

It's pretty.

It's so chilly all of a sudden.

It's time.

It's too cruel.

It's true.

It's unsettling.

Joking.

Just relax.

Just tell him...

Killing Einar.

Kiss?

Knee over,

Less than before you started to dress as a woman?

Let her fly.

Let me help.

Let me help.

Let me introduce...

Let's hope it is that because that at least we can cure.

Like a real woman.

Like your friend's kite when you were a boy.

Lili Elbe, like the river.

Lili Wegener.

Lili what?

Lili, please!

Lili, you coming?

Lili!

Lili!

Lili!

Lili?

Lili.

Lili.

Lili.

Lili.

Lili.

Lili.

Lili.

Lili.

Lili. Lili! Lili, wait!

Lili's never spent the night.

Look at the way she dresses, flaunting her ankles.

Look, I have to go. I have Danish girl waiting to see me.

Madame Gerda Wegener, Madame de la Roche.

May I introduce

Maybe we should order without him.

Maybe you should see a doctor.

More than just the two of you.

Morning.

Mrs. Wegener,

Mrs. Wegener, you're not encouraging this delusion?

My kite. I'll tease him about that.

My life,

My name's Lili and I'm here to see... Professor Warnekros.

My wife.

Next think I know, his father's chasing me out.

No no leave it on.

No we don't need to worry about Hans.

No,

No,

No, I love you, Gerda, only you. It's Lili she...

No, I'm fine, honestly.

No, I'm fine.

No, it's more than that.

No, it's not that.

No, leave it!

No, Lili has never gone further than that with other men. He would not...

No, not a woman.

No, not this.

No, she wouldn't like that.

No, she's spray it in the air,

No, we shouldn't worry.

No, you shouldn't.

No!

No?

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Never.

No. We've never done that.

No... I... sorry...

Nor did I.

Nor do I.

Not a painter.

Not at all.

Not per se.

Nothing.

Now I don't say that my client

Now you're making me strong.

Now.

Of course

Of course I remember him.

Of course not, he isn't here.

Of course not.

Of course you are.

Of course, I know that.

Of course.

Of course.

Oh can't we just pretend to be shocked because it encourages you?

Oh dear.

Oh Gerda, you're soaked.

Oh God!

Oh God.

Oh so I heard.

Oh the trick is not to eat anything else.

Oh, Gerda, no...

Oh, he is playing with us!

Oh, Henri, how are you?

Oh, I was hoping so much to meet her.

Oh, people are married so delightfully easy to shock!

Oh, perfect.

On the bed.

Once...

One step at a time.

Only if you need them.

Out of the question. She can go without me.

Peddling old masters to rich Americans.

People are looking.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Perhaps he was the smart one.

Perhaps if you would let me speak, perhaps things would be clearer.

Perhaps less...

Personal.

Please excuse me for a moment.

Please take a seat over there.

Please, Gerda.

Please, take it away.

Please.

Please.

Professor Warnekros thinks that I am.

Professor Warnekros would like a word...

Professor Warnekros, the fact is...

Professor Warnekros, What is the surgery?

Provincial.

Quiet! People are sleeping!

Rasmussen said it will make all the difference.

Rather a good one.

Really,

Really,

Really, how do you do manage it, eating so much sugar?

Really, you must be so proud of him

Really?

Really?

Really?

Really?

S sorry, I...

Shall we go back to Denmark then, Gerda?

Shall we go home?

Shame you weren't with me earlier.

Shameless... Gerda

She asked me about the Artists' Ball.

She fell for him, and...

She looked down at me

She'll need all her colours for me!

She's a popular girl.

She's had enough to put up with.

Sit!

Sit!

Six months, almost

Sleep now.

Smart, aren't they?

So delightfully easy to shock..

So many strange things have happened

So that's to be expected.

So what do you think would explain what you've been experiencing, Mr. Wegener?

So when did you arrive?

So yes, I kissed Einar.

So you saw Dr. Andersen

So, what you're suggesting...

So?

So.

So...

Someone who knows him.

Something's wrong with him.

Sometimes I think about

Sometimes I think you're going to slip through the surface of the painting

Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes it's hard to know what's in your...

Sorry,

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Spraying scent directly onto herself.

Stand up.

Stop it! Not now

Stop with that stupid, stupid game!

Submit...

Such a power in you.

Such concentration.

Surely that's why we became friends.

Take a stone and draw me on the rocks, at the side of the road.

Tell him it's a beautiful day in Copenhagen

Tell me about... Lili.

Thank you for inviting me. I thought you had forgotten all about me.

Thank you for seeing me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That bad?

That is why you're the only married couple

That might change.

That ring.

That was what he really wanted.

That was you and Einar.

That we both are.

That would explain the pain,

That's absurd.

That's good.

That's not a very original line.

That's not true. We trusted you.

That's very observant.

The bog's in me, silly.

The confused state of masculinity and infertility.

The dancer. Maybe you know her.

The doctors can't help.

The doctors... the doctor

The first time we met, I was leaving the Academy

The first to remove the male parts entirely.

The Gallery Etienne Dufour

The model...

The reviews of your show they were terrific, but...

The second, once you're strong enough again,

The sooner I start,

The store is a stage, we're here to perform!

The surgery... it's never been attempted before... Never.

The teacher...

The Vejle Fjord, not far from our houses.

There are some people that think that I'm insane.

There are.

There have been other men?

There was a m moment when I was just Lili, and I think that he could see that..

There was another, but it's was a long time ago.

There's a chance it might burn itself out, but...

There's a doctor,

There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

These are different...

These are good, Gerda.

These art dealers can be difficult.

They say it's so feminine.

They say that if you eat its acorns,

They sooner I'll finish.

This is not how it goes.

This is not my body, professor.

This kind of work is not really my...

This will be harder than the first operation.

Those two, over there.

Thought that would be impossible.

Time you came back to bed.

To a woman's gaze,

To celebrate?

To construct a vagina.

To correct a mistake of nature.

To the future.

Too set in my ways.

Two operations...

Ulla has another rehearsal. She cancelled again.

Ulla,

Unmarried people are

Victor?

Wait!

Wait.

We actually met once before, in Vejle,

We both have to accept that.

We both our rest. I'll sleep on the chair, there.

We came to you for help.

We can't risk an infection.

We do these things together.

We don't really know people here, and Einar he's...

We had big dreams, yes.

We had to give her a great deal of morphine of course,

We have plenty of time.

We have to go!

We haven't done that since art school.

We were fooling in the kitchen

We were such friends. How is he?

We'll talk more tomorrow.

We're going to call you...

We've been busy.

Well it worked well before,

Well thanksyou.

Well why not?

Well,

Well, hello there!

Well, if you just wait a minute, someone will drive you.

Well, people have been known to do both.

Well, these two won't be staying long...

Well, you can help me with this background.

Well?

What are you doing in today? I thought you had finished last week.
