 Product Description
Tilda Swinton is Orlando, the melancholy, fiercely independent, and always humanistic poet whose story begins when Queen Elizabeth I--wonderfully played by Quentin Crisp--takes a shine to the beautiful boy. There are several amazing things about Orlando, not the least of which is that he is immortal, has the tendency to slip into death-like sleeps for long periods of time and, halfway through the 18th century, changes into a woman. ...See Full Description

| Ethereal Beauty
Tilda Swinton is a wonderfully gifted actor. Orlando illustrates how Tilda presents herself as a blank canvas and then layers herself into each character so convincingly. Quentin Crisp also plays a wonderful part as Queen Elizabeth I. Such a contrast to Orlando's beauty and presence. I saw the tail end of this movie many years ago and it stuck in my mind as being special. I thoroughly enjoyed the visual trip through history and gender perspective. Loved the Elizabethan gardens. Fantastic experience.

| The impossible made credible!
This is a excellent movie but credit must go to the original writer Virgina Wolf. A good writer makes the impossible seem credible. I like the androgynous character and the travelling through time great themes.
