“I have had a great love of cinema that witnesses the ‘unwatched’, the solitary, the awkward social navigation ... the cinema that makes animals of us” – Tilda Swinton
Tilda Swinton: The narrative world of thefilms is one I lived through alongside Joanna: some parts of it in lockstep, others, adjacent but within hearing distance. To dip back into the atmosphere of that time is inevitably somewhat electric for us both.TS: Joanna and I were close from the start. We shared a discomfort in our school environment. Neither of us felt particularly well equipped to stand the robustnesses of that particular landscape.
TS: There is no doubt that had Honor not been perfectly equipped to play Joanna’s Julie in these two films, I would not have been encouraging of the idea … as it happens, I noticed some time ago something in her that occasionally brought a younger Joanna to my mind … a certain sensitivity and inward-facing attention … She was, just before the first film, a recent school leaver preparing to go to Africa as a volunteer teacher.
TS: I remember very clearly sitting on a train when I was about 11 going back to boarding school and suddenly becoming aware that the chances were that nobody in the carriage would be able to tell from looking at me quite how desolate I was feeling. I realised, as I looked at my fellow passengers that I, too, was unable to know for sure what was going on in the inner lives of each of them.
So: she is a twice-removed outsider, an ex-patriot living in Colombia met in the film when away from her home environment, not embedded in the fluency of her adopted language, solitary , further detached from the world around her by the compelling mystery of the sound within her head. Joe and I even wonder if she actually exists at all ... maybe this can be read as a ghost story, after all …
TS: I find the whole place of spoken language in film very interesting. The first question that gets my attention involves the actual level of communication desired between the people speaking to each other.
