One of the major screen artists of our time, Nicole Kidman combines movie-star magnetism with the transformational performance style of a dedicated character actor. Whether revealing the sociopathy behind the mask of suburban “normalcy” in Gus Van Sant’s TO DIE FOR, turning her own marriage to Tom Cruise inside-out in Stanley Kubrick’s dream-state erotic odyssey EYES WIDE SHUT, or fearlessly exploring the ultimate taboo in Jonathan Glazer’s provocative psychological mystery BIRTH, she brings layers of nuance, complexity, and conflicting emotion to every risk-taking performance while maintaining a sense of enigmatic unknowability that makes her endlessly fascinating to watch.
