Tilda Swinton
is the Elizabethan nobleman who, at the behest of Queen
Elizabeth I (Quentin
Crisp – who else?) remains ageless but changes
sex, in Sally
P otterís imaginative film of the Virginia Woolf
story.
'Olde Londo' was recreated in St
Petersburg. The arid deserts and Muslim townscapes
are Khiva in Uzbekhistan
(to travel to this beautifully preserved museum-city,
check out the Central Asia Experience.
The 'Great House', which forms a recurring backdrop,
is Hatfield
House, Hatfield, Hertfordshire
(seen in many films, including Henry
VIII and his Six Wives, Lara
Croft: Tomb Raider and Greystoke:
the Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes).
Queen Elizabethís lavish
banquet, with ten thousand roses and four thousand tulips,
was filmed in the houseís Great Hall. The young Gloriana
did, in fact, spend much of her youth on this estate,
though not in the house itself, which is Jacobean.
