Orlando (Blu-ray)

*This is NOT a comic! But I did go to film school!

Blu-ray Disc, 93 minutes, 1.78:1 aspect ratio, Colour, 1992 (2012 pressing)

A critical film in the history of British Cinema, Sally Potter's adaptation of Virginia Woolf's witty modernist novel took eight years to make it to the screen and is a meticulously crafted commentary on all things English as well as being a wonderfully romantic tale. Tilda Swinton stars as the eponymous hero who lives for 500 years and changes sex halfway. Granted a favour of immortality from Quentin Crisp's archetypal Queen Elizabeth I, Orlando proceeds to spend the next few centuries in search of love, life and adventure.
