February - Orlando (1992)
Based on Virginia Woolf’s acclaimed 1928 novel, Orlando is a visually stunning and genre-defying film directed by Sally Potter. This groundbreaking adaptation stars Tilda Swinton as Orlando, a nobleman in Elizabethan England who mysteriously defies the boundaries of time, gender, and identity.
Spanning over 400 years, the film explores themes of love, power, and self-discovery as Orlando transitions from male to female, experiencing life from multiple perspectives. Celebrated for its bold storytelling, sumptuous cinematography, and Swinton’s captivating performance, Orlando has become a cult classic and a landmark in queer and feminist cinema.
