Orlando is a film adaptation of Virginia Woolf's novel of the same name. The story follows Orlando (played by Tilda Swinton), a young nobleman who experiences a remarkable transformation. One night, he falls into a deep sleep and wakes up as a woman. Orlando then begins a journey of self-discovery that spans four centuries.
The film explores themes of gender, identity, and the passing of time through Orlando's experiences as both a man and a woman. As the centuries pass, Orlando witnesses changes in society and culture, from the Elizabethan era to the modern age.
Throughout the film, Orlando's unchanging appearance and immortality contrast with the transience of the world around them. Despite the Queen's command, Orlando eventually begins to wither and age, but not before experiencing a lifetime of love and loss.
Orlando is known for its stunning visuals and Swinton's captivating performance. The film was directed by Sally Potter and released in 1992, becoming an instant classic and earning critical acclaim.
