"Julia" stars iconic Oscar-winning British actress Tilda Swinton (/Michael Clayton, The Chronicles of Narnia,/ /Burn After Reading/) together with Saul Rubinek (/Unforgiven/) and Mexican actress Kate del Castillo.  

Julia (Tilda Swinton) is a 40 year old alcoholic, a manipulative, unreliable, compulsive liar, all strung out beneath her still flamboyant exterior.  Between shots of vodka and one-night stands, Julia gets by on nickel-and-dime jobs.  Increasingly lonely, the only consideration she receives comes from her friend Mitch (Saul Rubinek), who tries to help her.  But she shrugs him off, as her alcohol-induced confusion daily reinforces her sense that life has dealt her a losing hand and that she is not to blame for the mess she has made of it.

Glimpsing imminent perdition, and after a chance encounter with Elena (Kate Del Castillo), a Mexican woman, Julia convinces herself - as much in panic and despair as for financial gain - to commit a violent act.  As the story unfolds, Julia's journey becomes a headlong flight on a collision course, but somehow she makes the choice of life over death.
 
"Julia" received its world premiere in Competition at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008.
