VHS Movie Reviews of Orlando [VHS]
Movie Review: What a piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw this film (sadly) in a theater and only the fact that I was with friends kept me in the theater past the first 10 minutes. Pretentious crap. Lovely cinematography and a fair music score couldn't save pitiful performances, confused, pretentious (there's that word again) directing and silly script writing. Moronic.Movie Review: I watched in rapture...
Summary: 5 Stars
What and incredible waking dream.. This film left a lasting impression. I fell in love with the character with the aid of a fantastic storyline, amazingly beautiful countryside and wonderful musical score. I highly recommend this filmMovie Review: Absolutely fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched this film ten times and I never seem to get tired of it. The film may sometimes seem obscure however if the viewer has any common sense there should not be a problem understanding it. Cinematography, costume, settings and cast fit together perfectly. It's a movie of few words but gives a strong impact. The movie plays like a dream.Movie Review: A feast for both the mind and the eyes.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this film at least 5 times and although I agree it does not rival the book, I find Orlando takes my breath away every time I see it.Sally Potter has created a masterpiece of perfectly blended interpretation, music and cinematography. She has also managed to make a wonderful story all the more accessible.
Orlando is what dramatic film making is all about - to be able to feel the period as well as simply view it.
Movie Review: Beautiful, creative, unusual, captivating -- a find!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you see this for the first time on video, you'll probably wish you'd seen it when it was still in theatres (or at least you'll want to see it in widescreen). The cinematograpy is both unusual in its makeup and breathtaking besides, and well-suited to a larger screen. The movie chronicles several _centuries_ of her life; Orlando's character changes not only from male to female, but from immature to mature in a number of ways. It's a journey which is strange, sensual, and extraordinary all at the same time, and leaves you wondering what happens next... "next" being after the movie ends as "her life is just beginning."
The soundtrack is also very well thought out... and if you're invested enough, the ending song brings tears to your eyes. Great movie for all lovers of art films...but although not a "chick flick" per se, Orlando probably will appeal more to the female sex simply for its themes. The sentiments expressed by Orlando as he/she changes and matures, however, will doubtless be universally appreciated!
