Julia – dir. Erick Zonca [Edited from a previous “ defense ” of Julia , which was written before a number of US critics got on board with the film] Over the past ten years, a number of films have showcased the many talents of Tilda Swinton, whose uncanny screen presence can’t really be likened to anyone else working today.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (2005) Dir: Andrew Adamson Shrek co-director Adamson’s first live action film is based on a book I loved as a child. CS Lewis magical fiction is impressively visualised here, but on the whole this is a film I’ve grown to like less each time I’ve seen it.

Recommended THE MOVIE: " You don't speak Spanish, right? " There is a metafictional scene in the first act of The Limits of Control where Tilda Swinton, decked out as a 1960s blonde cowgirl of some kind, seemingly lays out the entire thesis of Jim Jarmusch's movie for the writer/director. She is talking to Isaach De Bankol , telling him about the kinds of movies she loves. She mentions the...
