Synopsis:
Tilda Swinton, Billy Zane and Quentin Crisp star in this "hip, sexy, and wickedly funny" film based on the gender-bending novel by Virginia Woolf. Swinton stars as Orlando, an English nobleman who defies the laws of nature with surprising results. Immortal and highly imaginative, he undergoes a series of extraordinary transformations which humorously and hauntingly illustrate the eternal war between the sexes. Visually stunning and beautifully acted, 'Orlando' is an intoxicating blend of romance, adventure and illusion.
