Birth (Wide Screen)
Birth (Wide Screen)
Stars: Nicole Kidman, Lauren Bacall, Cameron Bright, Danny HustonDirector: Jonathan Glazer
Summary: Anna is a young widow who is finally getting on with her life after the death of her husband, Sean. She is engaged to be married, but the union is jeopardised when she meets a ten year old boy who claims that he is her dead husband reincarnated. While his story would seem to be absurd, Anna cannot get him out of her mind and is forced to question the choices that she has made in her life.
Nicole Kidman teams up with director Jonathan Glazer (SEXY BEAST) to deliver some sensitive subject matter in BIRTH. Kidman stars as Anna, a wealthy widower preparing to remarry 10 years after the sad, premature death of her husband. She inhabits a vast apartment in New York City, which is owned by her protective mother, Eleanor (Lauren Bacall), who quickly gathers Anna under her protective wing whenever trouble comes calling. Anna's fiance Joseph (Danny Huston) also resides in the austere apartment, where a party is thrown to celebrate the impending wedlock of the happy couple. An unwelcome visitor in the shape of 10-year-old Sean (Cameron Bright) crashes the festivities, cornering Anna and claiming to be her departed husband. After a derisory reaction from Anna, events take a strange twist when Sean continues to hound the widower, revealing facts that only her late husband could possibly know. Emotions pour out of Anna, with Kidman delivering an exemplary performance as she manages to simultaneously convey grief, confusion, and the overwhelming feeling of loss that Anna had all but buried. Becoming ever more convinced of Sean's authenticity, Anna risks losing everything as Joseph and Eleanor attempt to debunk the veracity of the 10-year-old's claims, but fight a losing battle as Anna's old feelings reawaken and blossom into a palpable flourish of love and desire. Director Glazer packs a haunting visual punch throughout BIRTH, drawing on the stunning work of cinematographer Harris Savides to present a bleak, almost monochromatic vision of New York. The script from longtime Bunuel collaborator Jean-Claude Carriere and co-writer Milo Addica handles what could have been a controversial topic with taste and dignity, but the movie really belongs to Kidman, who once again turns in a stimulating performance.
