Double Feature
Orlando
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 law 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. (Sony Pictures Classics)
