Orlando is a film directed by Sally Potter, based on Virginia Woolf’s novel of the same name. The film follows Orlando, a young nobleman in 17th-century England who mysteriously stops ageing and lives across several centuries as both a man and a woman. With its playful and poetic style, the film explores themes of gender, identity, time and desire.
