| Showings |
Virginia Woolf’s 1928 novel “Orlando: A Biography” follows the centuries-spanning life of a young nobleman who awakens to find that they a woman. Almost a century after its publication, Paul B. Preciado claims that fiction has become reality and Orlando’s story lies at the root of all contemporary trans and non-binary life.
With “Orlando, My Political Biography,” Preciado has crafted a towering manifesto that’s as nimble in presenting abstracted gender theorizations as it is in capturing moving emotional truths.
★★★★
Orlando, My Political Biography is a film of many visual pleasures, and they’re ones Preciado clearly shared in while devising this generous and buoyant inquiry into institution and identity.
★★★★
Preciado’s lightness of touch and intellectual nimbleness buoys the movie, lifting both it and you.
