The Kidman' moment

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2001)

Why some people get shocked by Nicole Kidman' performance at this film? It is really unaccountable. Are your eyes wide shut?
Excepting Dead Calm, where she was demanded to show some centimeters of her splendid anatomy -and never it was too much at the movie- Hawaian born girl demonstrates to cinema and theater spectators her gifts like entire actress. She did it at Batman Forever, To Die For, The Portrait of a Lady and, of course, Eyes Wide Shut, between others solids works.
I didn't watch Arthur Schnitzler' play The Blue Room (La ronde) but people who did, said she deserved to win the Golden Globe to Best Actress. She made representations to Londoners and New Yorkers till exhaustion -she got a laryngitis- of five different roles.
Being making Los otros in a wet location at Palacio de los Hornillos, Spain, she felt the effects of a injury in a knee after the efforts in a Can-Can dancing-girl part at Moulin Rouge previously interpreted. She flown to L.A., USA, to be cured and came back again to Spanish set till the end of shot.
And all that only a very professional actress is capable of doing for. So don't' be so surprised by her actuation at this film. Many spectators, the wisdom ones, were seen this moment -the Kidman moment- would came. And here is it.
