About Sally Potter
Orlando from 1992 adapts Woolf with Swinton living four centuries in one life, winning festival prizes and fixing Potter's name. The Tango Lesson from 1997 turns semi autobiographical, with Potter herself learning the dance in Buenos Aires. The Man Who Cried from 2000 follows a Jewish girl through wartime Europe.
Yes from 2004 stages a cross cultural affair in verse, and Ginger and Rosa from 2012 watches two teenage girls split apart under the Cuban missile crisis. The Party from 2017 compresses a dinner gathering into 71 black and white minutes, and The Roads Not Taken from 2020 follows Bardem through a turbulent day with his daughter.
Good to know
Each film stands alone, so release order is the practical path and shows the style moving from costume epic to chamber pieces. Start with Orlando for the calling card, then Ginger and Rosa for the most accessible story. The Tango Lesson plays best once you know Potter appears in her own work. The Party runs just over an hour, so it pairs well with Yes on one night.
