Invitation to Tilda Swinton

Lumière welcomes this astonishing English artist with many facets. As an actress, she alternates first-rate successes (Michael Clayton, The Chronicles of Narnia, Snowpiercer or Okja) with underground works (Derek Jarman’s fétiche actress). She is also a screenwriter, director and producer.

Edward II by Derek Jarman (1991, 1h26)
The fall of a king, enamored with a lover who manipulates him; the betrayal of a deserted queen... An amazing post-modern transposition of Christopher Marlowe's eponymous play by the pope of the English underground.

Michael Clayton by Tony Gilroy (2007, 1h59)
A lawyer (George Clooney) is hired by a petrochemical firm to bury an affair. When he discovers the truth, he must make a choice... Tilda Swinton received an Oscar for her outstanding portrayal of Karen Crowder.

Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch (2013, 2h03)
Adam and Eve are vampires who have been a couple for centuries. They lead their respective lives until the younger sister of Eve comes to disrupt the course of things... An ode to the melancholy of bewitching poetry.
