Orlando is a bold, unsentimental re-working of Virginia Woolf’s classic novel in which an innocent aristocrat journeys through 400 years of English history first as a man, then as a woman. A dreamy, swoony reverie of shapeshifting sexual identity, the film stars Tilda Swinton as its time-traveling, sex-changing hero in one of her greatest roles. It was a transgressive riposte to the homophobia of early-90s Britain, and remains celebrated as a landmark of queer and feminist cinema to this day.
