'The Danish Girl', 'Suffragette' Screenplays Available For Your Consideration | No Film School

As the days for Oscar nominations wind down, we have two screenplays to share from Focus Features, The Danish Girl and Suffragette. Before we get to the screenplay links, let's take a look at the trailers for each film.

First, we have The Danish Girl, inspired by the true story of married artists Einar and Gerda Wegener. When Gerda asks her husband to dress as a woman so she can finish a portrait before her deadline, Einar discovers a new expression of self as the woman Lili Elbe. The married couple stay together despite pressures from society and strains on their relationship as Lili explores life as a transgender woman in Europe in the 1920s. Here's the trailer:

Next we have Suffragette, also inspired by a true story. This historical drama tells the story of the women who were willing to put their lives on the line to fight for equality in the U.K. in the early 20th century. Their clashes with the police and increasing civil disobedience spurs debate across the country. Written by a woman, directed by a woman, and headlined by a cast of powerhouse actresses, the film Suffragette itself aims to shake up the gender inequality in the industry. Check out the trailer below:
