Quote:Nicole Kidman has touched down at the Cannes Film Festival, where she is set to receive the Woman in Motion Award from Kering chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault, Cannes president Iris Knobloch and festival director Thierry Fremaux. Ahead of the awards dinner, Kidman joined Variety’s Angelique Jackson for a Kering Woman in Motion talk in which the Oscar winner spoke passionately about her commitment to uplifting female directors.
It was in 2017 when Kidman made a public vow to work with a woman director every 18 months. She had no idea if that would even be possible, but she was determined to see it through. And see it through she has. In the last eight years, plus factoring in her current projects in development, Kidman has teamed up with 27 female directors across her her various film and television projects.

I'm neither a fan nor a detractor of Nicole Kidman, but this makes me want to watch more of her work.

I recently watched her, again, in To Die For, which is excellent. As is The Others.
I loved The Year My Voice Broke, and Flirting. Thandiwe Newman is her co-star. Gorgeous!
I am not a fan of her later work, but I respect her for this career choice.
