Birth (Glazer, 2004): Prince Charles Cinema, 6.10pm
This 35mm presentation is part of the Prince Charles Cinema's Horroctober season. You can find the full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
In this eerily tranquil psychological thriller, Nicole
Kidman's placid countenance is like a Rorschach: you'll project onto it
what you want to see. A widow on the verge of remarrying, she's troubled
by the arrival of a ten-year-old boy (Cameron Bright) who claims to be
the reincarnation of her dead husband. In extreme close-ups, Kidman
stares impassively at nothing. Does she believe the kid? Is he crazy? Is
she? Director Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast) unnerves us with an
almost sleepy tone, helped by Alexandre Desplat's lush score. The
atmosphere is really the point, though I wish the script weren't quite
so elliptical.
