Description
Sally Potter directs this adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s modernist novel starring Tilda Swinton as the eponymous hero. In 1603, young androgynous nobleman Orlando is promised by Queen Elizabeth I (Quentin Crisp) a plot of land and a castle along with a large sum of money. The generous bequeathment is however only claimable as long as Orlando promises to never age. Agreeing to the terms, Orlando lives in isolation in his castle for the next 200 years. Travelling to the Ottoman Empire as an English ambassador, he finds himself in the middle of a battle after which he awakens as a female version of himself. Returning home as a woman, Orlando is accused of no longer having rights to her land and must fight for her royal inheritance. The cast also includes Billy Zane, Toby Stephens and Heathcote Williams.
