The 1993 film ‘Orlando’ (Sally Potter), follows the four hundred year journey of
a young British aristocrat who has been graced, or some might say cursed, with
immortality. Halfway through the film Orlando (Tilda Swinton) undergoes a
transformation from man to woman and finds him/herself confronting eighteenth
and nineteenth century society’s narrow and confining attitudes towards
femininity.’ Written By Christina Lane. Packaged in black and white.
