-“Fearless”-
“Baby Girl” is one of the 21 films in the main competition for the Golden Lion Award. It is also the third film by a Dutch director. Halina Reginhe also wrote the screenplay.
This book not only examines one woman’s sexuality, but also explores power relationships and upends the perspectives of some of them in surprising ways.
Early reviews have been mostly positive, with Variety saying Kidman is “fearless” in the film and capturing “the real substance of women’s pornographic experience in a time of control”, while IndieWire called the film “sexy, darkly humorous” and bold work”.
The film managed to subvert the seemingly outdated erotica genre, which produced films like Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct and 9 1/2 Weeks during its heyday in the 1980s and 1990s.
“I’m excited to be making a film about female desire, but it’s also a film about women in an existential crisis, and it has so many layers to it,” Lane said.
Such was Kidman’s interest that she delved into the genre in 1999 with her then-husband tom cruise In Stanley Kubrick’s final film, Eyes Wide Shut , sex and human psychology were similarly explored in depth.
“I want to study humans,” Kidman said Friday.
“I wanted to look at women on screen, I wanted to look at what it means to be human and all the facets and labyrinths of that,” she said.
Last year’s Golden Lion went to a film that unabashedly explored themes of self-identity and sexuality – the Greek director’s “Poor Things.” Yorgos Lanthimos.

-“Emotional loss”-
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman shared her thoughts on filming explicit scenes for her upcoming film. The actress explained that she and co-star Halina Dickinson choreographed the scenes with the help of an intimacy coordinator. These scenes were carefully rehearsed and adapted to the needs during filming.
Despite the careful planning, Kidman revealed that she and Dickinson were completely immersed in their characters once the camera started rolling. “Really, I was never out of the woods,” Kidman admits. “It’s running me ragged.”
Kidman went on to describe the emotional toll these scenes took on her. “At some point, I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do it anymore, but at the same time I’m forced to do it,” she admits. “Halena would hold me and I would hold her because it was very confrontational for me.”
As Baby Girl’s release approaches, Kidman admits she’s finding the anticipation as daunting as the production itself. “It’s something you do and hide in your home videos. It’s often not seen by the world,” she commented.
Recalling the experience, Kidman added, “I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being. I had to get in and out, like I needed to put the suit back on. I just did What?
-Self-love-
Keyman, who appeared on the red carpet before the screening in a two-tone Schiaparelli gown, said “Baby Girl” also fits her agenda of promoting female directors.
She said she wanted to “support a lot of women in directing and try to change the ratio”.
The gap between male and female directors at film festivals has narrowed in recent years as attention has grown on gender equality, but female directors remain underrepresented.
This year, Lane is one of seven female directors participating in the main competition with 21 films.
Kidman, 57, said it was crucial to have a woman at the helm of “Babygirl.”
“It’s a woman telling it through her eyes… That’s what makes it so unique to me, because all of a sudden I’m going to be in the hands of a woman who has this material, and it’s very, very profound to be able to share this stuff. ‘s and very freeing,” Kidman said.
She admitted that the relatively small amount of nudity in the film was not a major problem.
“I’m going to completely give up[myself]to the story, to the essence of the character I’m playing, so I’m not thinking about the body itself, I’m just thinking about how we tell the story,” Kidman said.
Ultimately, Lane said the film is about the question: “Can I love myself on a different level?”
“I wanted it to be a tribute to self-love and liberation.”
The film premiered last Thursday at Venice’s Teatro Saragrande, where it received a seven-minute standing ovation, Deadline reports. Kidman’s performance received critical acclaim, sparking early speculation about an Oscar nomination.
“Babygirl” will be released on December 25.
