“Don’t scream at me,” Tilda Swinton’s kooky art-world outcast jabs at [insert any character from the film here] in Julio Torres’ batshit debut feature Problemista. One of many quotes in the subversive comedy that deserve to become a regular go-to in the vernacular of queers, Problemista is the perfect vehicle for the Saturday Night Live alum’s signature brand of finding absurdity and surrealism in the mundane. To the Brits reading this who may not understand why the aforementioned jab made this writer, and many others, cackle, then good news alert: Problemista is now out in the UK.

Synopsis incoming: Immigrant toy-maker Alejandro (Julio) reluctantly begins working for Elizabeth (Tilda), a volatile-tempered art critic (and every employer’s boss from hell) so he can avoid deportation and keep living the American Dream. Also starring RZA, Isabella Rossellini, Catalina Saavedra and James Scully, Problemista was met with universal acclaim.

The following quote from Julio is, but also really isn’t, extremely relevant: “Last night, I had this dream of a long cylindrical handbag. And I remember being delighted in the dream that nothing could fit in the handbag because it was so narrow. That made me laugh.”

Interview with Julio Torres below.

Julio, what is it like to share a Glastonbury experience with Tilda Swinton?

She’s the perfect guide, just strolling the grounds. She knows where to go. She knows what’s interesting. You just let her show you the kingdom.
