“Why don’t you write your biography?” “Because fucking Virginia Woolf wrote my biography in 1928.”glad i went to see this!! the format especially is so wonderful, mixing documentary and fiction and texts from a book written in 1928 with statements and stories from real people living today. doesn’t just question the gender binary, but also the binary of biography vs fiction and presents such a personal, emotional and yet playful way of engaging with orlando.
the gender non-specific urge to kiss a tree
dangerous for a single work of art to mix the two corniest cultures (french and trans)
Virginia Woolf's 1928 novel inspires a collaborative film where multiple trans and non-binary individuals share their stories and re-enact the centuries-spanning life of the protagonist.
It was directed by Paul B. Preciado in 2023, utilizing a hybrid essay format to examine contemporary gender identity.
It is rated 12 in Germany.
It was released in the US on November 10, 2023.
