But whereas Swinton had only played the role of the mother before, this time she suggested she might tackle both parts in tandem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(It) took me less than a millisecond to realise that was the perfect choice to make,\u201d Hogg told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>The drama takes place in the dead of winter in a converted stately home, complete with creaking floorboards and groaning joists, that had once belonged to the mother\u2019s aunt. But from the very start, all is clearly not as it seems. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of ghostly presences in the film, but it\u2019s actually one of the most real films that I\u2019ve made in many ways. So it\u2019s very much rooted in one\u2019s memory and experience,\u201d said Hogg, making her debut in the main Venice competition.<\/p>\n<p>Swinton, a veteran of international film festivals, swept into Venice with a crop of brightly dyed yellow hair \u2014 a tribute to Ukraine\u2019s blue and yellow flag.<\/p>\n<p>She told Reuters said it was easier for her to play the elderly mother, despite the great age difference, because she was able to build on her earlier work in the role.<\/p>\n<p>But she needed to think harder about playing the daughter Julie \u2014 a part previously portrayed by her own daughter Honor Swinton Byrne in the two Souvenir movies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Julie, I drew consciously on energies that my daughter brought to Julie, which was really interesting,\u201d Swinton said.<\/p>\n<p>Although her daughter does not appear in the new film, her dog Louis does, adding to the sense of foreboding as it whines and seeks to escape from the confines of the fog-bound hotel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s my dog. He\u2019ll do anything I ask him to do,\u201d said Swinton. \u201cIf you\u2019re working with a pro dog and I work with pro dogs, they\u2019re not really interested in you. They\u2019re interested in the guy behind you who\u2019s got the sausage in his pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Mindy Burrows; Editing by Crispian Balmer and Lisa Shumaker)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/double-dose-of-tilda\/79th-venice-film-festival-41\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reuters_Direct_Media\/USOnlineReportEntertainmentNews\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850SZ-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850SZ-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/double-dose-of-tilda\/79th-venice-film-festival-42\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reuters_Direct_Media\/USOnlineReportEntertainmentNews\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850SX-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850SX-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/double-dose-of-tilda\/79th-venice-film-festival-43\/\" class=\"broken_link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reuters_Direct_Media\/USOnlineReportEntertainmentNews\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850SU-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850SU-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/double-dose-of-tilda\/79th-venice-film-festival-44\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reuters_Direct_Media\/USOnlineReportEntertainmentNews\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850ST-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850ST-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/double-dose-of-tilda\/79th-venice-film-festival-45\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Reuters_Direct_Media\/USOnlineReportEntertainmentNews\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850T0-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI850T0-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mindy Burrows VENICE (Reuters) \u2013 Relations between parents and their children feature strongly in this year\u2019s Venice Film Festival, but Tilda Swinton adds a new twist to the theme,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1634252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1634252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1634252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1634252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1634252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1634252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1634252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
