Tilda Swinton is one of our favourite actress's and older style icons. Her latest film I Am Love is released on April the 9th and looks like a 'must see'.
The film tells the story of Emma Recchi (Swinton), a Russina expat living in Milan. Part of the Recchi textile dynasty, she finds herself increasingly alienated from her perfect life and embarks on a passionate affair with her sons friend Antonio.
Not only does this film have a gripping plot, it also looks beautiful (always a plus for us) and is a must see for fashion lovers and foodies. Costumes are by Silvia Venurini of Fend and Raf Simons of Jil Sander and nearly 50 something Swinton has never looked so stunning.
There are also some amazing cooking scenes, as Luca Guadagnino, the film’s writer/director made the actors study with Michelin star chefs and all the dishes in the film were professionally prepared and shot.
Saw this clip at the Curzon last week, on the big screen it looked fab - a must see. FYI just saw in the Times that Margaret Howell has a sample sale 25-26 March, The Music Rooms, W1K 5AB.

mmm, AND it's got heavy Italian flavour (not just the food, but the language and the "ambiente") - always a plus point for us here in Ticino. Lovely. Cannot wait. Agree with you, Tilda S just gets better and better. Have a slight feeling that she hasn't even reached her peak yet. Am reminded of Katherine Hepburn, goodness knows why. Maybe the inner strength that radiates.

Anything that Tilda Swinton does is a must see. I just adore her talent and uniqueness.Saw on DVD recently a very little known independent film with her called Julia, where she plays an American woman who is down and out but who embarks on a major and complicated kidnap plot for money but actually ends up finding love(from the child she kidnaps). It's not a masterpiece but she is so good in it, it captures your heart. She is also great in the Pringle ad campaign http://www.pringlescotland.com/
Can't wait to see her latest role.
