Films
Nicole’s screen debut was her participation in the filming of the music video for the Australian singer Patricia Wilson Bop Girl. Nicole’s next work included filming in the film “Bandits on Bicycles” and the romantic comedy “Riding the Wind”. In 1988, Kidman was nominated for “Best Supporting Actress” by the Australian Film Institute for her participation in the film adaptation of David Williamson’s play “Emerald City”. In her early youth, Nicole starred in the cult series “Bangkok Hilton”, where her participation was positively received by the public and critics. The year 1989 was marked for the actress by the filming of the thriller Dead Calm, which brought Kidman her first worldwide success. Her first work on a film set in the United States was her participation in the film “Days of Thunder”, where she played opposite Tom Cruise, who later became her husband. Kidman was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her acting role in Billy Bathgate. The prestigious New York Times newspaper wrote about the successes of the young actress, noting Nicole's charm and sense of humor. Soon she played the role of Dr. Chase Meridan in the film Batman Forever, and also starred in the black comedy Worth Dying For. The masterful transformations of the actress from one role to another could not go unnoticed: Nicole Kidman received a Golden Globe. A turning point in Kidman's creative biography was the role of the courtesan Satine in the musical film "Moulin Rouge!" The actress and her stage partner Ewan McGregor performed all the songs independently. Critics greeted the film with enthusiasm, and Nicole received the long-awaited Oscar for her participation. The composition Come What May was originally written for the film about Romeo and Juliet, but was first heard and remembered by the audience as the love theme of the main characters: Satine and Christian. The song has its own special role – it becomes the secret of lovers, a secret declaration of strong love for each other, which only they know. A turning point for Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise was their participation in Stanley Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut. The filming of this erotic film lasted more than a year, although it was planned to spend only a few months on it. The director, a recognized perfectionist, redid a lot of things and even changed actors after filming. Cruise and Kidman had to spend a lot of time filming naked and getting used to the roles of spouses whose feelings for each other had cooled. The film was released a few months after Kubrick’s death. Rumor has it that participation in this film completely undermined the couple’s relationship in real life, and shortly after the film’s release, they divorced. Participation in the mystical thriller "The Others" directed by Alejandro Amenábar was the next step in the development of Nicole Kidman's career. The film is distinguished by a dark atmosphere, an intriguing plot with an unexpected ending and, of course, excellent acting. The film "The Hours" by director Stephen Daldry with Kidman in 2002 brought him the most prestigious awards, a second Oscar and a British Academy Film Award.
