The Danish Girl is a 2015 biographical romantic drama film directed by Tom Hooper, based on the 2000 novel of the same title by David Ebershoff, and loosely inspired by the lives of Danish painters Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener.[5] The film stars Eddie Redmayne as Elbe, one of the first known recipients of gender-affirming surgery, Alicia Vikander as Wegener,[6] and Sebastian Koch as Kurt Warnekros, with Ben Whishaw, Amber Heard, and Matthias Schoenaerts in supporting roles.

The film participated in the main competition of the 72nd Venice International Film Festival,[7][8] and it was shown in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[9] The film had a limited release on 27 November 2015 by Focus Features in the United States.[10] The film was released on 1 January 2016 in the United Kingdom, with Universal Pictures handling international distribution.[11]

In spite of criticism for inaccurate portrayal of historical events, Redmayne and Vikander's performances received widespread acclaim and nominations for multiple acting awards. Vikander won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and Redmayne was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, while the film received additional Academy Award nominations for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design at the 88th Academy Awards. At the 69th British Academy Film Awards, The Danish Girl received five BAFTA Award nominations, including BAFTA Award for Best British Film.
