JULIA
Julia is 40 and an alcoholic. She is manipulative, unreliable and a notorious liar - but in spite of everything else, she is still an imposing appearance. In between the many vodkas and occasional one-night-stands, Julia manages to scrape together a living by doing one low-paid job after another. But life is getting lonelier and lonelier. Her daily dose of alcohol only serves to strengthen her conviction that she is one of life's losers and that she is not responsible for the chaos she has made of hers so far. In panic and desperation, but also driven by financial necessity, she turns to crime as a way out. But nothing goes as planned and she is forced to go on the run.
There are few film actresses working today who can embrace the extremes of beauty and ugliness as persuasively as Tilda Swinton, and fewer still, I suspect, who have the guts to try. She's a magnificent, bold, sometimes viscerally uncomfortable screen presence, with an otherworldly alabaster glow and a piercing gaze that seems to nail you to your seat. (Mahnola Dargis)
