Youth, androgyny, immortality. These are the three taglines that come into my mind when I watch this film. This is a story centered on a unified, androgynous body which travelled through 400 years, from the Elizabethan era to late modernity. Whenever Orlando breaks the "fourth wall", and stares at me, I feel a little guilty for no obvious reasons, as if I'm, whether intentionally or not, in complicity with patriarchy and phallocentrism, even though I AM female.
Always ask yourself: how to be a real woman? or more precisely, how to BECOME a woman?
