During an Aug. 30 press conference for Babygirl at Venice Film Festival, star Nicole Kidman discusses her passion for increasing the number of women-led productions in film.
Nicole Kidman has revealed her beloved mother has died, just hours before she was awarded Best Actress for her role in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival, which came to a close on Saturday.
'I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me. She said they'd managed to visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales after-hours, where they took in the Matisse: Life & Spirit exhibition, describing it as 'soothing balm'. 'I'm at the place where I'm being given the chance to view the world, because of how close we are, my mum is giving me the chance to view the world through an 81-year-old woman's eyes,' she explained.
Her director Halina Reijn read a statement from the actor, revealing that Nicole's mother died while she was in Venice, meaning she would be accepting her acting award on her behalf Rising British star Harris Dickinson has a career-making turn as Samuel, the intern who intuits that his boss Kidman, the CEO of a tech firm, wants to be dominated.
'This is one woman's story and this is I hope a very liberating story. It's told by a woman through her gaze. It's Halina script, she wrote it and she directs and that made it unique, that suddenly I was going to be in the hands of a woman with this material. It was very dear to our shared instincts and very, very freeing.'
'My connection to it is that I want to examine human beings, women, on screen, to explore what it means to be human in all the facets of that and the labyrinth of that.' She explores her desire to be dominated with her intern but – unlike in previous erotic dramas such as Basic Instinct – female desire doesn't destroy her career or her family life and, without giving away the ending, she remains professionally powerful and married at its conclusion.
Nicole said: 'I think this film is obviously yes about sex, but it's about desire it's about your inner thoughts, it's about secrets, it's about marriage, it's about truth, power, consent' Speaking to Vanity Fair, Nicole said she isn't sure she is 'brave enough' to watch the film on the big screen at its Venice Film Festival premiere next month.
Babygirl review: Nicole Kidman sizzles in this tale of passion and power across the age divide, writes BRIAN VINEROne of the oddities of these post #MeToo years in Hollywood is that Lolita-style stories about older men falling for much younger women or even schoolgirls have practically disappeared – while the opposite dynamic is suddenly all the rage.
Nicole Kidman attends a red carpet for 'Babygirl' during the 81st Venice International Film Festival on August 30Antonio Banderas and Nicole Kidman in a scene from 'Babygirl' Still, Reijn has other matters to attend to, and gets down to them with arresting urgency. Filmmakers sometimes start their features with sound rather than pictures – a hubbub of people chatting, perhaps, or a lone dog barking in the street. Here, it's Romy evidently in the throes of sexual ecstasy, although she needs to look at online porn to finish the job. 'Exposing' indeed.
