poster Birth (Jonathan Glazer, US 2004)
Glazer’s underestimated metaphysical masterpiece is the ultimate mind-bender. Nicole Kidman shines as Anna, a widow from Manhattan who is about to marry Joseph (Danny Huston). Suddenly, a mysterious ten-year-old boy (Cameron Bright) appears from nowhere, claiming to be the reincarnation of Anna's deceased husband and turning their well-ordered, well-heeled world upside down.
