Has anyone in the UK seen this film? It's release date is January 2012 here in the US. I am familiar with Lynne Ramsay's work and Tilda Swinton is a remarkable actress and so I will see it because of these two ladies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g__z9mVzYuw

(Not to mention, the separate Q&A session Tilda did later in the week!!) I've read the book but have not yet seen the film. I might resort to... other means, as I question whether or not it will get any release dates here in Hamilton. If you haven't seen it, seek out the interview she did with Roger Ebert while she was at the film festival. I've always enjoyed the candidness of her interviews, and this one is no exception.

Thanks for pointing me to this interview. I second what Roger Ebert said about Tilda Swinton's formidable intelligence and giving hope to movie fans that good films will continue to be made. I also poked around on You Tube and found interviews with Lionel Shriver. Imagine my surprise to find that Lionel is a woman..."a rose by any other name smells as sweet". She is one intelligent, articulate lady. I'm going to get a copy of the book and see the film. My only dilemma is what to do first, watch or read; a pleasant problem for me. Here is the link to the interview...thanks for making space on this board to share other great performers, writers, directors that capture our attention. blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2011/09/the_world_according_to_saint_t.html

I have a huge crush on Tilda Swinton. The writing style of Lionel Shriver takes a bit of getting used to- she does love her metaphors. But it seems to fit the rather removed, clinical thinking of the character of Eva, so you sort of get used to it the more you get into the book. I wonder how much of it they'll be able to transfer to film (there are one or two moments that may be omitted due to graphic content), and I do wonder if the depth of the book can transfer completely to film. That being said, you cannot help but picture Tilda Swinton in the role of Eva as you read the book. I think it was brilliant casting and she's already been tipped for an Oscar nomination. In fact, she's been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Lead Actress. We've downloaded a screener copy of the film but have yet to watch it. I'm still hoping for it to show up around these parts as we get closer to Oscar time. If you read the book first, do let us know what you thought of it!
