Ulrike Ottinger, BRD - RFA 1981 / Delphine Seyrig, Magdalena Moctezuma, Eddie Constantine / kleur - couleur / 127'
Supermarket antiquities, mediaeval industrial zoning, the Nazi Inquisition and modern freak shows: Orlando traverses ages and gender boundaries alongside the “freaks” of every era. A camp film divided into five non-narrative segments, inspired by Virginia Woolf's novel of the same name.
Content warning: Some of Ulrike Ottinger’s productions, such as for example
Freak Orlando, might reinforce or perpetuate harmful stereotypes, raising representation and appropriation issues. People whose experiences of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, skin color or body shape are not regarded as the norm in society may find her work offensive.
