 [No title]
Orlando, who was a passionate lover of animals, now noticed that her teeth were crooked, and the two front turned inward, which, he said, is a sure sign of a perverse and cruel disposition in women, and so broke the engagement that very night for ever.
Hence, Orlando and Sasha, as he called her for short, and because it was the name of a white Russian fox he had had as a boy--a creature soft as snow, but with teeth of steel, which bit him so savagely that his father had it killed--hence, they had the river to themselves.
Orlando believed her one moment--for who can be sure that his rage has not painted what he most dreads to find?--the next was the more violent with anger at her deceit.

 ‘Orlando’ (PG-13)
"Orlando" is an epic suffused with metaphysical musing and sexual politics, as Orlando, born into this privileged role, not only lives some 400 years -- from 1600 to the present -- without aging, he also changes sex.
These inexplicables are left marvelously unexplained, and as time flies and Orlando experiences love, sex, betrayal, poetry, politics, birth and death from both sides of the gender coin in several eras, the film becomes an allegory of the sexless, timeless mind, of spirits trapped within the social constructs called masculinity and femininity.
The film's producer calls "Orlando" a "$20 million film made for $4 million," and Potter conjures near-miraculous visions (watch for the ever-changing topiaries on Orlando's estate), filming in England and Russia.
