Movie description

"Playing A Part" traces the scandalous and astonishing life of Claude Cahun: photographer, author, surrealist artist and resistance fighter. Cahun and her partner Marcel Moore, who formed an extremely creative lesbian couple, were part of the Parisian artistic avant-garde between the wars. Cahun's self-portraits work on the notion of gender and identity with provocation and modernity.
