Joanna Hogg, Tilda Swinton talk mothers, memory and regret

VENICE, Italy — Joanna Hogg was extremely nervous about showing her mother her latest film, “The Eternal Daughter.” The writer-director of “The Souvenir” films had, again, mined her own life for material and inspiration. Everyone was personally invested, which Swinton said is rare when you’re dealing with such “emotionally expensive” material. “Joanna’s way of working, and the way of working that I am now absolutely devoted to, is the most, for me, inspiring and responsive way of working I can imagine,” Swinton said. “I’m loathe to work any other way now.” “I find it extremely inspiring to ask oneself what would one say next,” Swinton continued.
