Sally Potter's dazzling 1992 film adaptation of Virginia Woolf's classic novel Orlando is coming to 4K UHD in June from Curzon in a combined UHD/Blu-ray release. This 2-disc set includes a wealth of behind-the-scenes extras, plus two short films, a poster, the fully annotated shooting script and a booklet with new essays, all presented in a rigid slipcase with new artwork by Michael Dunbabin.
The film tells the tale of the apparently immortal Orlando, who begins an epic quest for love and freedom in the court of Elizabeth I as a man and completes the search 400 years later as a woman. Tilda Swinton leads an outstanding international cast – which includes Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth 1 and supporting performances from Billy Zane, Jimmy Somerville, Dudley Sutton, Toby Jones and more – in this enchanting, witty, visually stunning and brilliantly original story of self-discovery, romance and adventure.
Orlando will be released as a Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray package on 23 June 2025 by Curzon at the pre-order price of £34.99.
