[译]我一直有一个想法就是想要扮演一个精力充沛的爱幻想的酒鬼，蒂尔达·斯文顿说，因为大多数酗酒者，她停顿了一下，然后Zonca带给我了这个角色，相当接近我现实中熟悉的人。
这个女人在Zonca周五新上映电影Julia中扮演了一个低俗而满嘴粗话，蛮横的生动女人。完全推翻了外界对她一贯的来自剑桥的严酷冰冷的认识（在纳尼亚中的邪恶女王以及让她获得奥斯卡奖的米歇尔克莱顿中的冷静律师角色）。对这些，她解释道，你演惯了一种，你就想尝试另一种了。
在某些方面，电影Julia更加偏向于传统妇女而非斯文顿经常扮演的中性角色。当然，传统妇女是不会因为赎金而绑架一个孩子去墨西哥的。斯文顿说，她的这种分离完全出于母性本能，用给一个9岁孩子食物来获得6.4包干酪三明治。这种分离是不正常的，斯文顿补充，它是一种必要的不自然，是一种荒诞的表现这个女人在任何时候是必败的，电影用这种否定的来形容这个游戏的迷人之处。
值得关注的是最近斯文顿想要放弃表演转而作诗，在从奥兰多的旅行回来后她身心上都有了这个想法。尽管身着歪歪的红色派对裙，斯文顿看起来还是原来那个一个冷静的人。....

"I always had a fantasy," Tilda Swinton says. "I'd always wanted to play an alcoholic who was energetic and fancy-filled and fun, because most of the drunks I know..." She pauses, "And it so happened that [Erick] Zonca came with this character. It was pretty close to the person I'd been visualizing."
The woman dominating every scene of Zonca's new film, Julia, released Friday, is a foul-mouthed, hard-partying force, a dynamic fuckup in heels. She lets it all hang out, literally, and she's a major departure from the poised, icy martinets for which the Cambridge-educated Swinton is better known. (The wicked queen of Narnia and the conniving lawyer in Michael Clayton, a role that won her an Oscar, come to mind.) As Swinton puts it, "You work a muscle, and you want to work another muscle."
In some ways, Julia is more traditionally feminine than the androgynous control freaks Swinton often plays. Of course, there's nothing traditionally feminine about her fleeing to Mexico with a boy she's abducted for ransom. "She's completely disconnected from that maternal instinct. Her idea of providing food for a nine-year-old child is to get a six-pack and four cheeseburgers," Swinton notes. That disconnect may be abnormal, she adds, but it's not necessarily unnatural. "It's a myth that women are beaten with all the time," Swinton says. "There's something about [Julia's] denial of playing that game that's fascinating."
Especially in light of Swinton's recent revelation that she'd one day like to give up acting for poetry, the mental and physical demands of this role seem right up there with her gender-bending tour de force in Orlando. And despite her tumbling red tresses and spillover party dresses, she's part of the same project as Swinton's more self-contained creatures. "Whether it's a question of thinking about what it is to be brought up a boy and given the starter pack that boys are given, or whether it's a question of becoming a mother and that kind of starter pack, and feeling yourself morphing out of that, or whether it's getting yourself the identity of being an out-of-control suicidal alcoholic and then feeling something else happening inside you, I've always been interested in the transformations out of those set identities that society tends to lay on you," Swinton says.
