The actress talked about her front@l n-dity in "Eyes Wide Shut" and her experience working with Tom Cruise under Stanley Kubrick
Rivers of ink have been written about how torturous it can be to work for Stanley Kubrick, a genius whose obsession with detail could become exhausting for many performers. Not so for Nicole Kidman, who enjoyed working with a filmmaker who was empathetic to her situation at all times.
The director of "The Shining" told her from the start that she should do a front@l n-de in "Eyes Wide Shut", something that put the actress on guard, not entirely comfortable with the situation.
"When I started working with Stanley Kubrick, he said to me, 'I'm going to want front@l n-dity. And I was like, "Uf, I don't know", "acknowledged the protagonist of" The others "
In an interview with the New York Times Magazine. In the end, the director and the interpreter reached an agreement, which included a clause in Kidman's contract that gave the actress security to tackle one of the most erotic scenes of her career: "He would show me the n-de scenes before incorporate them into the film. That way I would feel completely safe. I did not say no to anything, I just wanted to be clear that she was not going to appear n-ked and with everyone laughing at me ».
«I would not have liked the story to be badly told (...) To have them say to me: "Once you are happy, this is done", is a fantastic position to be in if you are a woman: the contractual agreement that I have with the director who allows me to show myself n-ked and do s-x scenes because I feel safe, "Nicole Kidman has acknowledged.
"I love the relationship between actor and director: when it is pure, it is exquisite," admitted the interpreter, who defends Kubrick. “Stanley was not a torturer. It was difficult, because he shot a lot of takes, but I would sit on the floor in my office, and we would chat and watch videos of animals. He said that animals were better than people. Though I remember one time we were watching a wildlife documentary with a lion chasing an antelope, and he could b@rely watch. Interesting, right?
