Tilda Swinton Thinks About Her Death

It's about a fellowship and particularly about friendship between women. One of the things that's beautiful about the story is that these women were very close a very long time ago and they've had a couple of decades off.

Ingrid was living in Paris and Martha was a war correspondent and they've just lost touch. And then they come back together at this critical moment. And I think there's something particularly beautiful about that. And I've lived long enough to know that this is a thing that starts to happen at this point in your life. You start to meet people who you haven't seen for a couple of decades.

And that bond is so particular because you're drawing on your bond from when you were in your 20s. It's still there. It's still fresh. But you don't have to sweat the small stuff of, oh, and then you were married to so-and-so, and then you got divorced, and you had two children, right? Okay, and then you lived where? You lived in Yemen or whatever.

'The Interview': Tilda Swinton Would Like a Word With Trump About His Mother

I'm enjoying right now the attention to that question and the fact that our film puts that question into the air, the idea of bearing witness and the question of what is friendship But even more than friendship, what is it to coexist? What is it to not look away?

Because what you've described is quite a banquet of experience, your experience with your mother, your experience with this doctor, and then to see a piece of art that's also swimming in the same material. How did you feel?
