Babygirl
Halina Reijn / US, NL, 2024 / 115 min.
Halina Reijn’s third feature-length film stars Nicole Kidman and was received with applause at the Venice Film Festival. Babygirl is an erotic thriller as well as a successful investigation of sexual equality. About orgasm inequality and giving in to your deepest desires.
Romy (Nicole Kidman) is the top manager at a firm that specialises in the development of packing robots for distribution centres. Bossy Romy’s career is on the up and her marriage to the warm and celebrated theatre director Jacob (Antonio Banderas) seems a success – although Romy usually has to help herself climax after sex.
Preliminary film
Before the screening of Babygirl you will see the short film Lift Off (3') from the Eye collection. In this experimental film by Martha Colburn from 1998, space appears to be populated by voluptuous female astronauts. Pulsating and floating through the darkness, one occasionally encounters a phallic rocket.
