Tilda Swinton relishes her samurai turn in ‘Dead Don’t Die’

Associated Press  

CANNES, France — Tilda Swinton feels most at home at the Berlin Film Festival, but she’s steadily become a regular at the Cannes Film Festival. “You don’t get assaulted by people dressed up like life-sized penises like you used to,” says Swinton. Swinton, who memorably starred as a thoroughly well-read vampire in Jarmusch’s “Only Lovers Left Alive,” plays the town’s mortician. Swinton’s character is named Zelda Winston, a riff on Jarmusch’s nickname for Swinton: “Swilda Hinson.” “Everybody’s in their own clothes,” she says. And it’s so easy to notice that some forces are actively befuddling us.” Swinton recently narrated Mark Cousin’s “Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema,” a four-hour documentary that sheds light on many of the underappreciated female filmmakers from throughout cinema history.
