Birth (2004, USA) C-100m. *** D: Jonathan Glazer. Starring Nicole Kidman, Cameron Bright, Danny Huston, Lauren Bacall, Alison Elliott, Arliss Howard, Michael Desautels, Anne Heche, Peter Stormare, Ted Levine. Kidman's husband dies while jogging in Central Park. Ten years later, as she is about to remarried, a ten-year-old boy steps into her life claiming that he is none other than her deceased husband. This baffling allegation throws Kidman off-balance and jeopardizes her relationship. Can it be true? Quietly fascinating psycho drama with echoes of such classics as SECRET CEREMONY (1968), ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968), and DON'T LOOK NOW (1973) keeps you pondering. Has cult film possibilities. Written by director Glazer (SEXY BEAST), Milo Addica, and Bunuel collaborator Jean-Claude Carrière. Fine score by Alexandre Desplat.
