Icons of cinema Delphine Seyrig and Magdalena Montezuma star in this wildly loose and freaky Virginia Woolf adaptation. Twirling visions of new, decadent glamor from worshipping rituals, sex, and commerce, director Ulrike Ottinger frolics in Orlando’s transhistorical sprawl with outrageous glee.

Rejecting sanctimonious satire, Ulrike Ottinger’s bold critique of the tabloid press allows for the surface pleasures of notoriety and celebrity. Starring an immaculate, never-more-devious Delphine Seyrig, this prescient film is magnetized with push-pull fascination for sparkly yet throwaway fun.
