A truly remarkable adaptation of Woolf's novel. Tilda Swanton is enthralling as the androgenous and ageless Orlando seeking love in a 400 year odyssey; from the finery of Elizabeth the First's court, through the Civil War, the early colonial period, the literary salons of 1750, by which time Orlando is a woman, the Victorian era of property, and finally to the present day. Potter's direction adds a marvellous period feel. Superb, this is a magical story .

THE FOUNTAIN (2006)
Certification12 Our Rating
A highly visual movie with three intersecting stories - one each from the past, present, and future - about a man in pursuit of eternal life. A conquistador in Mayan country searches for the tree of life, a medical researcher, working with tree sap, looks for a cure that will save his dying wife and, finally, a space traveller with an aged tree in a bubble moves toward a dying star that's wrapped in a nebula.
