Birth

2004

Manhattan, New York

Jonathan Glazer

Drama 

What’s it all about: Nicole Kidman is the usual, a rich and beautiful woman in mourning who receives personal news at executive meetings and arrives late to the philharmonic, and no one seems to mind because she’s rich and beautiful.

First Encounter: first viewing

Prostitute Index: nil

Death By: winter jogging

Relics: a cast in which the only person of color is the housekeeper

Heartthrobs: Cameron Bright, Lauren Bacall

LoFi Magic: pixie wig, the musical score as Anne Heche overacts her way into the bushes of Central Park

Makes me want to: go for a run in the snow

Candotti take: It seems to be an American movie but made by Europeans.

Worth a watch/rewatch: No (try “Under the Skin” instead)
