As Proposition 8 continues to divide California, France offers its decade-old take on gay and gender-identity issues. Ma vie en rose follows a family in the 'burbs as they deal with the neighbors' — and their own — reactions to their flamboyant five-year-old son, Ludovic. The affecting Alain Berliner-directed flick takes place in a suburb south of Paris, but the attitudes it explores are straight from Anytown, USA. The film picked up a Golden Globe for best Foreign Language Film in 1998, but its US release still received what some say was an unwarranted R rating. At tonight's timely screening, LA gets the chance to decide for itself.
