Review of Orlando

Orlando (1992)
7/10
odd, but well done.

The awesome Tilda Swinton brings us through a couple hundred years, two different sexes, and a personality change. Along the way, she falls in love, loses a couple loves, and changes her outlook on a few things (sometimes by force!) enduring the double standards of living, she personally experiences the positives and negatives of being a man, as well as a woman. it's QUITE well done! and the fact that it had been pointed out to me that this story started out as possibly a love letter from Virginia Woolf to one of her lovers helped explain a few things. Shown on Turner Classics as part of a LGBTQ collection. co-stars Quentin Crisp, Billy Zane, and Jimmy Somerville, all just amazing in their own place really add to the story. Directed by Sally Potter.
