The working-class British actor has a prolific career with more than 100 film and television credits, but he’s had an unusual journey to the spotlight.
I’m a writer and editor who seeks to illuminate the unknown and little recognized. I love film, literature, and culture, and I especially enjoy writing profiles of creative people. For the last twelve years, I’ve worked at publications including The New York Times, Interview, and Spin. In 2018, I got married, so my name and byline changed from Julia Yepes to Julia Bozzone.

The working-class British actor has a prolific career with more than 100 film and television credits, but he’s had an unusual journey to the spotlight.
In this interview for his new movie Lover for a Day, French film director Philippe Garrel reveals how he creates his penetrating, poetic work.
Endless Poetry, Alejandro Jodorowsky's buoyant, lyrical, and colorful new film, tells the story of the filmmaker's youth, and his journey to become a poet, puppeteer, clown, mime, and tarot enthusiast.
"I can't relate to 99 percent of humanity," says a character in Terry Zwigoff's perceptive 2001 cult film Ghost World (2001). Here, I interview the beloved director about how he draws great performances from his actors, his sense of humor, and his withering critique of consumer culture.
Filmmaker Albert Serra embraces the ludicrous (though you might not guess it from the sumptuous images that fill his new movie, The Death of Louis XIV). I interview the European arthouse director, who’s inspired by the spirit of unconventional filmmakers and artists like Salvador Dali, Jean-Luc Godard, and Andy Warhol.
“To me, you’ll always be a fish,” a boy tells a teenage mermaid, gently rejecting her romantic advances. It’s a bruising, funny, and relatable moment in the 38-year-old Polish writer-director’s inspired feature-film debut The Lure. In this interview, she tells me about her relationship with color, her subconscious interest in the beauty of a voice, and whether it’s possible to be happy as an adult.
The engaging, high-octane filmmaker David Lowery reflects on his new film, A Ghost Story. “It’s a haunted house movie that’s not scary, except at times when it is—but it’s not the ghost that makes it scary,” he says.
