Orlando to go (Woolf in 11 minutes)

Talking about the protagonist of this fictional biography, one had best use the gender neutral personal pronoun ‚they‘, for Orlando starts out as a he and later becomes a she and has other remarkable qualities as well, viz. they live for more than three hundred years. ORLANDO is a declaration of love to England, to literature and, above all, to Vita Sackville-West, Virginia Woolf’s lover, who inspired the main character. Michael Sommer and his Playmobil cast offer a compact and entertaining summary of the novel. DISCLAIMER: WATCHING THIS VIDEO DOES NOT REPLACE READING THE ORIGINAL! My recommendation: Read it yourself!

love the sardonic jokes (-:

[@anneaway]

I must say I've never managed to understand the plot, thank you for this summary haha

[@clumsydad7158]

it's rather picaresque and absurd yet there is definitely commentary on literature, gender, and history ... it's not a simple work

[@megalicious7757]

Watched the film, got confused. Went on UA-cam for explanations, got even more confused.

[@heavensent4284]

Megalicious
It was written by a mentally ill woman who had been institutionalized several times, needed in-home care at other times, attempted suicide at least twice, and then succeeded in killing herself at age 59. She had been sexually abused by two half-siblings for several years. She lived a very sad and confusing life, so it is no wonder that her writing is confusing.

"Because she was supposed to be a dead, married and a man" brilliant

[@elenasarpe5911]

Very cool and explanatory, thank you! I watched this after reading the book and it highlighted the most important things

[@gregf9160]

Brilliant analysis! One of my favourites, not only from Woolf, but in modern literature generally. Thanks ... it was a scream!

[@MrSonofsonof]

If you find Woolf a bit heavy, this is definitely the book to go for - witty, fun, optimistic, none of the usual Woolfian mental illness, cancer and suicide.

[@Richie8a8y]

Fabulous
