Recommendation: My Secret Friend

This is some very lovely genderbending and cross-dressing from Chris Corner and Imogen Heap. What I especially like is that Imogen is wearing an actual, man-shaped suit. It would’ve been so easy to give her a feminised version, but they didn’t and it makes me happy :D They also gave her sideburns and everything!
And the song ain’t half bad either…

This is awesome. I am a fan of Imogen and it is great to see her doing something like this.

Oh wow!! I love Imogen Heap anyway, so it’s no surprise I love this.
But the acting here is actually really good. Both of them fall into character so perfectly. Imogen assumes a tortured young man – almost with a bit of a Japanese flair to the style – and IAMX the surrealist, almost slightly Lolita sort of mystery. And the way they carry themselves matches their personas – it’s not just their clothes and make-up.
This is just beautifully acted, beautifully shot, and a beautiful song. Very nice.
