About Freak Orlando
Five more-or-less distinct sections, all featuring "Freak" Orlando, a woman played by the late Magdalena Montezuma, who appears in various guises and deformities throughout.
Directed by Ulrike Ottinger, Freak Orlando leans on a strong ensemble — Magdalena Montezuma, Delphine Seyrig, Albert Heins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1981.
