http://www.magpictures.com/profile.aspx?id=aef241b7-4401-4aaa-87c0-d1bb16c9a397 Julia, 40, is an alcoholic. She is a manipulative, unreliable, compulsive liar, all strung out beneath her still flamboyant exterior. Between shots of vodka and one-night stands, Julia gets by on nickel-and-dime jobs. Increasingly lonely, the only consideration she receives comes from her friend Mitch, who tries to help her. But she shrugs him off, as her alcohol-induced confusion daily reinforces her sense that life has dealt her a losing hand and that she is not to blame for the mess she has made of it.
Glimpsing imminent perdition, and after a chance encounter with Elena, a Mexican woman, Julia convinces herself as much in panic and despair as for financial gain to commit a violent act.
As the story unfolds, Julia's journey becomes a headlong flight on a collision course, but somehow she makes the choice of life over death.
"Tilda Swinton makes any film worth seeing -- but you¹ve never seen her in a
role quite like this. 'Julia' takes you a wild ride you won¹t soon forget." - Leonard Maltin, ReelzChannel
Looks good. I haven't heard anything about this movie at all till the Ebert review. I hope it comes to DC.
