Nicole Kidman tackles on-screen taboos in ‘Babygirl’

Film critic Emma Jones tells us why Nicole Kidman’s latest role – as an executive who embarks on an affair with her intern – is perhaps more shocking for a Hollywood audience than a European one. Her performance in “Babygirl” won Kidman the best actress prize at the Venice Film Festival; we discuss some of the film’s taboos and standout moments. We also go through some of the big winners at this year’s Golden Globes, including French auteur Jacques Audiard for “Emilia Perez” and Demi Moore for “The Substance”. Emma tells us why Adrien Brody and Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres could be well placed to pick up Oscars, in addition to the acting prizes they won this week. Plus we take a look at Pedro Almodovar’s touching study of friendship and mortality, as Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore shine in “The Room Next Door”.
