Show notes

I revisit Sally Potter’s Orlando (1992), a unique and fascinating film that completely confused me when I first saw it but has taken on a very different meaning decades later. Tilda Swinton is extraordinary as a character who moves through centuries of history while exploring identity, gender, love and society’s expectations. A visually stunning and thought-provoking film that challenges the viewer and rewards patience.
