Film Weekly: Tilda Swinton on being Julia

On this week's Film Weekly, Oscar-winning actor Tilda Swinton tells Jason Solomons how being barred from a party in Cannes led to her role as an alcoholic in Erick Zonca's new film, Julia. Over satsumas, she also talks about her career to date and how Martin Scorsese is helping her bring world cinema to children everywhere.

Then, actor Eddie Marsan, fresh from winning a British independent film award for his role as the driving instructor from hell in Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky, talks about going from Leigh's set to starring with Will Smith in Hancock.

And finally, in a bumper week with 13 new releases, Xan Brooks joins Jason Solomons to throw the spotlight on Neil LaBute's film Lakeview Terrace, starring Samuel L Jackson, and a stunning new documentary on Hurricane Katrina called Trouble the Water.
