Tilda Swinton interviewed by Mark Kermode | BFI Q&A 

Queen Elizabeth 2.0

Yes

Bro, this comment is sadly ironic due to the fact Elizabeth died a few days ago!

same here!

Same, I was like 9 and absolutely mesmerised

David Adams Me too!

This. I had no problem with casting a female Doctor, but it seemed to me that there were plenty of female actresses that fit the part better. Tilda would have topped my list.

YES YES YES

Oh, yes, she would. I'm sorry to say much better than we had with the normally exceptional Jodie Whittaker.

You can see how beautifully Peter Capaldi would have regenerated into Tilda

I can see it. Agreed

We have one more vid coming - Tilda and Joanna Hogg. Will be up early next week, but subscribe for notifications! Thanks for watching

BFI do you have footage of her going mad with Mark Cousins? Needs to be seen to be believed!

@@someenglishguy When was that ? What happened ?

Le Petit Lord they were dancing round the stage to the Marilyn Manson cover of Tainted Love. So strange!

Some English Guy oh ! I knew she kind of liked MM, there was this picture of Tilda with Tarantino and Manson somewhere ^^

I'm so jealous. I'd love to be her friend.

This has got nothing to do with anything, but your profile pic is so gay

@@anaphielas I'm not gay, but my husband is.

She’s a gorgeous model with a handsome androgynous aesthetic! She makes me straight lol

You can pretend but can you act intelligence? Asking for a friend :D

Oh yes, you do. :)

Gary Cambridge small part but very well,done in Broken Flowera

me too!!!

They were both in the curious case of benjamin button have you seen it

That *is* the punchline.

I paused and found the clips, or substitutes (trailer for snow piercer, for example), which works pretty well!

Fantastic indeed.

She is! Burn after Reading. Hilarious!

@PietreADI Because it would be an eccentric combination and I think both actors revel in out of the ordinary parts.

More movies? She's in lots of movies, big and small. If she wanted to be in more movies, she'd be in more movies 😋

Check her IMDB page, Tilda is in plenty films, all genres, great actror

She was in Doctor Strange and Narnia, two really famous movies.

I did not like Snowpiecer, just not very good. IMHO.

A whole video of Tilda and Director Bong on Snowpiercer here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rQxR5A8600o.html

The most captivating part of the film was Tilda's performance nevertheless despite the challenge of suspended belief.

thanks

@@KindCountsDeb3773 wrong

When is this?

What did he meant by that ? he didn't like Once upon ??? for who's asking, min 26:00

@@leonkane8570 It's a long-standing criticism of QT from our bequiffed one, he feels that too many of his characters speak in a similar way or cadence, which I don't really agree with, but he argues it in an entertaining way.

Ah, I thought it might have been a follow on from some kind of story about feet

Watch Tilda's face when he says that, too. Sort of 'Oh, here we go'

newpersonsamemistakes ooh don’t know this one. Will check it out

Exercise and being teetotal?

Kinda looks like Hail to the Thief era Thom.

Karan Villalobos They are most likely not allowed to show the clips.

Because they may not have permission to show it outside of the studio where this was being taped. Plus, you have to pay for each clip if shown...even with permission for the film studios.

Derek Jarman's Prospect Cottage

@@alexferreira3929 Thank you so much sir!

And yes I have only seen Michael Clayton and what a powerful performance by her!

Copyright claims.

Keep crying

Agreed. And I mean, the interview is intended for Swinton to speak on her experiences, not for Kermode to take cheap shots at celebrated filmmakers.

Whilst I like QT and his style saying his writes characters from their core, he doesn't. They are all heightened film versions of characters with sharp witty dialogue mostly.

Esinach I’d say that with two Oscars and a plethora of iconic characters and lines to his credit, he probably doesn’t need Mark’s advice on how to write. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@esinach Read one of his scripts vs most scripts. He creates memorable characters with different voices and writes dozens of them into some scripts. Is Tarantino's dialogue heightened? Does it have a style? Sure. So does those of Wilder, the Coens, Sturges. His scripts are not filled with witty banter for their own sake. They're style and substance working simultaneously. He can make films as long as possible but you're never lost because of the clarity of each character's purpose within the story and their unique approach to speech (both content and style). THAT is writing characters from their core. He's one of the few screenwriters who has done this at such a consistently high level for decades. Kermode has always had a weirdly patronising view of Tarantino and has never avoided the opportunity to level a petty insult at the celebrated filmmaker, whether his criticisms are informed or not.

Tarantino can make 3 hour movies, where the main source of conflict is often people just talking to each other, absolutely riveting. The Hateful Eight is just a room with a handful of characters in it talking to each other 95% of the time and it’s one of the most intense movies I’ve seen.

Have you seen “We Need to Talk About Kevin”? She’s excellent, and she’s not otherworldly at all.

@@thegreyinitiate3680 I haven't, but I'll take a look, thanks. I'm not saying her other-worldlyness is bad in 'normal' parts, I'm saying she can't act 'normal' at all & when she tries, it's just bad acting! If I were her, I'd revel & enjoy doing the weird, unusual stuff, why she bothers with the mundane is pointless, it's like the Queen trying to pretend to be a lavatory attendant 😅.

@@Chillmax she does! Maybe you need to check out more of her 🎥

NeptuneReturnz why do you say that?

You're Illuminati and Scientologist and Freemason and Cthulhu Cult.

Why?

She wont, she is anti royal, maybe Mary Queen of Scots, she comes from one of Scotland 's oldest aristocratic families, and she believes Scotland is already independent Country and that its England that need to vote for independence from Scotland, controversial.!

Care Blanchett already did an outstanding job in portraying Elisabeth I. I think no one could surpass that performance. Anyway I love Tilda, she could be great in anything she does.
