Películas cinematográficas "Orlando" DVD.
The story of someone who lives for four hundred years, first as a man, then as a woman. Orlando's journey begins in 1600 as a priviledged youth, bequeathed a stately home by Queen Elizabeth I who instructs Orlando not to "fade, wither or grow old". Orlando's life, from that moment, becomes a rich tapestry, imaginatively preserved by Elizabeth's decree. It is a life enriched and saddened by lost love, confused and challenged by diplomatic responsibility, tempted by society's foibles and Orlando's own passion for poetry and passion. When Orlano emerges into the present - a twentieth century of speed and noise - it is an ordinary individual who, in losing everything, has found herself.
In this adaptation of the time-travelling novel by Virginia Woolf, a young Elizabethan woman experiences life in many different times, changing her sex on the way, in order to see how the other half live.
Orlando
Orlando es una criatura melancólica e independiente, un ser ambiguo e inmortal que con el paso de los siglos pasa de mujer a hombre, mientras bucea en los misterios de la vida, el arte y la pasión.
Orlando durcheilt in einem einzigen Leben vier Jahrhunderte. Auf halbem Wege wechselt der junge Edelmann das Geschlecht. Aus dem Favoriten der greisen Königin, dem liebeswunden Höfling, dem Gesandten der Krone in fernen Landen wird eine Lady. Sie wird in den literarischen Salons des 18. Jahrhunderts belächelt, empfängt im Zeitalter Viktorias ein Kind vom Mann ihrer Träume, bis ihre Reise im lärmenden London von heute endet... (www.cede.ch).
Gefingeerde autobiografie van een jonge edelman, die in de loop van eeuwen langzaam een vrouw wordt.
Orlando, apparently immortal, begins an epic quest for love and freedom as a man in the court of Elizabeth, completing the search 400 years later as a woman. The journey takes Orlando, in pursuit of a Russian princess, across the frozen river Thames and into central Asia (where he changes sex), through the experience of romantic love - and loss - in the Victorian age, and of motherhood (and war) in the 20th century, before finally arriving in the present moment.

ORLANDO ; Regie: Sally Potter. Mit Tilda Swinton, Billy Zane, Lothaire Blutheau. Musik: Sally Potter, David Motion
Sedicenne nel 1600 con Elisabetta I regnante, nobile inglese diventa donna a trent'anni e tale rimane, senza invecchiare, nei secoli successivi fino al 1928. A sottolinearne l'attualità, la Potter prolunga l'azione sino al 1992. Lo squisito film fa rivivere in un'altra dimensione il romanzo (1928) di Virginia Woolf dove s'intrecciano molti temi: la storia (l'idea che gli inglesi si fanno del loro passato), la sessualità, il tempo, la distinzione tra i sessi, l'androginia, l'immortalità, l'aristocrazia, la scoperta della scrittura e, particolarmente caro alla regista, l'identità dell'essere attraverso la molteplicità dei suoi io. (Morandini).
