When the Oscars were announced, there were some favorites that didn’t make the cut. It happens every year, and a number of performers – like Albert Brooks in Drive, Patton Oswalt and Charlize Theron in Young Adult, and Tilda Swinton in We Need to Talk About Kevin were not nominated. Oswalt – on Twitter – joked about having a party for the snubbies, and Vulture brought this to Swinton’s attention. Her response: she’d be there in a heart-beat.

At this point, it’s easy to know what to expect from Wes Anderson. Great Performers, a distinct visual style, and maybe just maybe some twee. In Moonrise Kingdom there’s Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Jason Schwartzman in a story about two star-crossed child lovers who escape from a summer camp, which leads to a full scale rescue mission. The film opens May 25, and now there’s a trailer.

With Cannes gearing up, we’re starting to see more from some of the films that will be “In Contention” this year. Lynne Ramsey’s We Need to Talk About Kevin is one of the most exciting as it’s been almost a decade since her last feature film, 2002′s Morven Callar. The new film stars Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly, and has yet to be picked up for American distribution. Septimovicio got the first stills, take a look…

Sally Potter’s 1992 film Orlando is being re-released. I am not sure why, except that it comes of age this year, and Tilda Swinton is enjoying her considerably higher profile these days energetically to promote I Am Love, so why not? It’s jolly good.

Though she might not describe as such, there’s only one word I can think of when trying to some up the experience of watching Tilda Swinton in I Am Love, a film that she produced which is entirely in Italian and listening to her be interviewed — fearless. I can think of many other words to describe her, witty, beautiful, intelligent, cerebral, but at the end of the day, there are so few actresses as open, free and willing to take risks as her. She’s made a real Italian Opera for cinema and given herself fully to the film. From her performance, to spending 11 years on the project, to the explicit love making scenes — it’s a successful risk and made for the real film-goer.
She’s one of the few Oscar winning actresses that’s not a celebrity or even a performer, but an artist. This interview is long, but it’s because there’s nothing that really needs to be cut. Go get a drink, sit down and soak it in and find out why we will now be calling her Sir Tilda Swinton. I suggest the same for the film, it goes well with some good wine and cheese…
