Everyone's favorite heart-throb, Orlando Bloom, was named after the character in Virginia Woolf's novel (source: BBC). Interesting to consider his androgynous appeal in relation to the serendipitous namesake.


In 1999, Sally Potter directed a film entitled The Man Who Cried. It premiered in September 2000 at the Venice Film Festival, and was in limited release in the USA, UK, and Australia. It is now available on video and DVD.

Starring:

Christina Ricci as Suzie
Claudia Lander-Duke as Fegele
Cate Blanchett as Lola
Johnny Depp as Cesar
John Turturro as Dante Dominio
Harry Dean Stanton as Felix Perlman


The Man Who Cried is coproduced by Adventure Pictures (Christopher Sheppard), Working Title Films, and Canal Plus. It is based on an original screenplay by Sally Potter. The editor is Hervé Schneid, who also worked on Orlando and The Tango Lesson. The soundtrack features Taraf de Haidouks, a popular gypsy band from Romania. Filming locations included Paris and the Bourne Woods in England.
