CGiii Comment
Epic in imagination.
Epic in production.
But, sadly, it just doesn't seem to work...
The book is a feast for the senses...this is a photo-shoot of that feast...for the eyes only.
It did win a heap of awards...but, it needed more...as in intellectual stimulation.

The(ir) Blurb...
Young nobleman Orlando is commanded by Queen Elizabeth I to stay forever young. Miraculously, he does just that. The film follows him as he moves through several centuries of British history, experiencing a variety of lives and relationships along the way, and even changing sex.
