Today, November 5, is the birthday of the informal beauty Tilda Swinton - this is a great occasion to remember films with the participation of a talented actress. Even at the age of 58, she continues to appear in large-scale projects and lead an active social life. A new film with Tilda is expected soon - "Suspiria", the release date in Russia - November 29, 2018.

Cosmic image of an alien

The full name of the actress is Catherine Matilda Swinton of Kimmerheim. Tilda Swinton was born on November 5, 1960 in London into a family of aristocrats and belongs to the ancient Anglo-Scottish family of Swintons. All relatives expected that the girl would marry some famous count, but no one could have imagined that Tilda would go headlong into the film industry.

Tall stature, expressive cheekbones, red hair and an almost alien body constitution - this is how Tilda can be described. “Not like everyone else” is the first phrase that suggests itself when looking at your favorite actress (photos from movie sets, carpets, personal life and the best photo shoots can be seen in the Instagram account).

Due to her fantastic appearance and unique image, the actress is always invited to participate in various photo shoots and advertising projects. From the outside, it may seem that she agrees to the strangest and most unusual, because Swinton is so fond of shocking and surprising the audience: original images, alien forms and surreal scenery.

In 2013, in New York, Tilda became a living exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, where she appeared in front of visitors asleep in a box behind glass. Inside the transparent structure, the actress slept for 7 hours at the opening of the installation.

Many fans are interested in whether Tilda is albino or not, because she has such light eyelashes and a pale face. As you know from the actress herself, makeup artists bleach her hair and eyebrows, she also specifically bleaches her skin, considering this her highlight

As for her personal life, the first husband of the actress in 1977 was Don Patrick Byrne, with whom Tilda had twin children, Honor and Xavier. In 2004, Swinton began dating a young artist, Sandro Kopp, with whom she is still in a relationship.

However, the latest news makes you wonder if everything is so good between Tilda and Kopp. In the summer of 2018, journalists noticed the actress strolling through the streets of New York together with a mysterious stranger. The women chatted merrily, hugged and ambiguously held hands. Or, perhaps, the outrageous lover simply decided to mock the media, grabbing her companion by the hand in order to provoke a curious paparazzi.

Filmography

One of the first roles in Swinson's filmography was Sally in the 1986 drama Egomania - An Island Without Hope. This was followed by the role of androgyne in the 1992 film Orlando, which brought Tilda worldwide fame.

It is impossible not to mention the heroine Eva in the film "Something's Wrong with Kevin" 2012, the mother of a very difficult and unusual boy Kevin, prone to inexplicable cruelty.

In 2013, Tilda co-starred with Tom Hiddleston in the fantasy drama Only Lovers Alive. The actors played the roles of vampires Adam and Eve, who have lived on Earth for more than one hundred years and are already very tired of the everyday human routine.

Tilda Swinton's unconventional androgynous appearance played into the hands of the actress when she had to literally grow old for several decades for the role in the film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014), adding a huge layer of make-up to her face. Tilda appeared in the form of Madame D. (Celine-Villeneuve Degoff-und-Taxis), which had to be created by a whole team of professional makeup artists at the beginning of each shooting day. As a result, the film was awarded 4 Academy Awards, including Best Makeup and Hair.

Next on Tilda's list of films was 2015's Big Splash, where she got the role of world-class rock star Marianne Leigh. The heroine underwent a complex throat operation and was left without a voice, which completely transformed her life.

In The Big Splash, Swinton co-starred with Dakota Johnson, with whom she co-starred in the film Suspiria by Italian director Luca Guadagnho, which will be released on Russian screens on November 29, 2018.

Pictured below is Tilda Swinson at the "Suspiria" premiere on October 24, 2018 at Arclight in Los Angeles, California.

We must not forget about the fantastic movie "Doctor Strange" 2016, where Swinton played a female mentor, teaching the main character the basics of practical magic.

New film with Tilda - cover version of "Suspiria"

The 2018 film "Suspiria" is a remake of the mysterious horror movie of the same name from 1977. The picture won a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, and now it is being predicted an Oscar. In the new Suspiria, attention is more focused on the art of dance, through which the plot is revealed.

Tilda Swinton played Madame Blanc, under whose leadership the famous dance school operates. Something unkind and sinister is happening within its walls.

The school of modern dance is not at all a union of talented dancers, it is a real community of witches, but the main character (Dakota Johnson) does not find out about this right away. In the process of watching the picture, the viewer will closely follow the actions of the actors, because the entire tape is saturated with a dreamlike aura and filled with a video sequence of mysterious halftones

What is noteworthy, together with Hollywood stars, the Russian girl-choreographer Elena Fokina starred in the film. In an interview with the REN TV channel, she told in what nightmarish conditions the actors had to act and rehearse.

The shooting took place in an old abandoned hotel, which was closed back in 1986 and was empty for a long time. And during rehearsals, mystical music was specially turned on on the site to create a frightening thriller atmosphere.

Films with the talented Tilda Swinton will always be popular and will definitely find their viewer, because her manner of acting is so interesting to watch. The actress never considered her work as a profession, for her it is a special pastime and inspiration. Perhaps for this naturalness and originality we love the fantastic Tilda so much. Below is a trailer for the highly anticipated new 2018 film Suspiria.
