Julia

French writer and director's first film in a decade in the US after his smashing hit "The Dreamlife of Angels." As he has done with his previous film, he stays with characters on the margins of society which makes for another compelling character study in this riveting thriller thanks to the tour-de-force performance by Tilda Swinton. The story about an alcoholic woman who's lured to kidnap the son of a neighbor from his millionaire grandfather for ransom which leads her to discover her lost humanity in the process. Swinton delivers her best performance to date and unleashes her raw talent as the title character that makes the film a must for her fans and admirers. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
