  • 25 Jul 2011

  We Need to Talk about Tilda

  • 18 Oct 2011

  What do George Clooney, Bela Tarr, Wes Anderson and Derek Jarman have in common? You probably guessed. They have all directed Tilda Swinton (Anderson in his latest, the forthcoming Moonrise Kingdom). Katherine Matilda Swinton is a rare creature. Tall, pale skinned, with red hair and drawn, curious features: thin lips, high forehead… Todd Haynes missed a trick when he failed to cast her as Ziggy Stardust in Velvet Goldmine. It’s no easy feat, to come from the avant-garde, the art... Read more

  Over the course of more than two decades writing about films and interviewing filmmakers – hundreds and hundreds of them – Where the Wild Things director Spike Jonze stands out as one of the most difficult. We spoke for about half an hour, but mostly I spoke and he smiled, shrugged, or mumbled. It was as if he’d taken a vow of silence or something – or I was a cop and he was guilty as sin. Why? Because everything he wanted to communicate, he put into his movie. The rest Read more

  

  Synecdoche, New York

  • 11 May 2009

  Well, you can’t accuse Charlie Kaufman of dumbing down for his directorial debut. The cult screenwriter has created a string of singular, post-modern philosophical comedies for Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich; Adaptation), George Clooney (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind) and Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), but he’s out-done himself here. Synecdoche (horribly pretentious title) was originally written for Jonze to direct, but he bailed when Where the Wild... Read more
