Nicole Kidman has never been afraid of taking risks, or should we say risques. The actress does not shy away from taking up roles that require certain scenes of a s*xual nature or ones that explore the romantic intimacy between partners.
Her last venture, A Family Affair, also touched upon the same with some steamy scenes between her and Zac Efron. In fact, one of her most famous and beloved projects is Eyes Wide Shut starring Tom Cruise and her in lead roles. It primarily deals with a couple who aspires to add some spice to their intimate life.
Nicole Kidman sheds light on upcoming flick Babygirl
The next project in line starring Nicole Kidman also appears to be one that deals with intricate subjects of a woman’s lust and s*xual desire. At the Venice Film Festival, the actress openly spoke about the themes that make this movie a strong narrative for women and how the innermost thoughts often come to the forefront in such situations.
Directed by Halina Reijn, Babygirl features a dynamic female CEO who risks everything for a few moments of passion and lust with a young intern at her company. The film not only aspires to deal with the overarching concept of female sexuality but also with the twisted power dynamics that can come into play. Kidman spoke of her experience,
This definitely leaves me exposed and vulnerable and frightened and all of those things when it’s given to the world, but making it with these people here was delicate and intimate. Right now, we’re all a bit nervous. I was like, I hope my hand’s not shaking.
Her confession gets our hopes up as Babygirl might even overtake Eyes Wide Shut when it comes to explicit scenes with more s*xual content. The erotic drama further shines a light on the theme of female pleasure and how it’s often overlooked in movies. Despite being an exceptionally talented and experienced actress, she felt nervous shooting the scenes. Hence, consolidating our hypothesis that Babygirl might take eroticism and pleasure to another level.
Nicole Kidman was comfortable on set because of Female Director
Only a female can tackle the subject of female pleasure with adequate attention and care. This is further why Kidman felt comfortable and at ease on the sets of Babygirl. Everything in the movie aspires to be a true-to-life portrayal of situations from the storyline to the actors’ performances. Kidman shared,
I knew she wasn’t going to exploit me. However anyone interprets that, I didn’t feel exploited. I felt very much a part of it. There was enormous caretaking by all of us, we were all very gentle with each other and helped each other. It felt very authentic, protected and, at the same time, real.
Reijn gained popularity with her 2022 movie Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, which dealt with a friend group’s experience gone horribly wrong. Nevertheless, Reijn is exploring more diverse stories, particularly related to the female experience. Hence, her collaboration with Kidman on Babygirl is expected to be fruitful since it gives a refreshing take on female pleasure.
Babygirl is set to release on December 25, 2024.
