Tilda Swinton holds the center of this wry and dreamy film, a bold, unsentimental re-working of Virginia Woolf's gender-bending novel in which an innocent aristocrat journeys through 400 years of English history first as a man, then as a woman. Immortal and highly imaginative, Orlando undergoes a series of extraordinary transformations which humorously and hauntingly illustrate gender as expression and expectation. Visually stunning and beautifully acted, ORLANDO is an intoxicating blend of romance, adventure, and illusion.
