Orlando (1992)
Based loosely on the novel of the same name by Virginia Woolf, Orlando stars the enigmatic Tilda Swinton as the title character, an androgynous young nobleman. The film travels across centuries (and Orlando changes persona, from man to woman), and ends in the present day. Vincent Canby wrote in The New York Times, "This ravishing and witty spectacle invades the mind through eyes that are dazzled without ever being anesthetized." Orlando is a sumptuous visual feast.
