Tilda Swinton Finds Her Husband In A Shocking State Of Undress

This is probably the weirdest moment in Possible Worlds, the alternate-reality-hopping movie from 2000. It's a bizarre, dreamlike story of the relationship between George (Tom McCamus) and Joyce (Tilda Swinton) across various realities.

We talked to the director, Lynn Hershman Leeson. More »

Triple Tilda Swinton Happy Cyborg Dance

Lynn Herschman Leeson scored one for smart science fiction with the gorgeous, funny flick Teknolust, about a mad biologist (Tilda Swinton) and the three cyber-ladies she created from her own DNA. Unfortunately, the cyber-ladies, all played by Swinton, have to inject human sperm in order to stay alive. And to make money, they run a porn site where they pretend to be robots. More »
