Nicole Kidman was in the house Thursday as writer-director Halina Reijn’s Babygirl had its world premiere screening at the Venice Film Festival. The A24 erotic thriller garnered a seven-minute-plus ovation from the Sala Grande audience.
Kidman was joined at the premiere by fellow cast members Harris Dickinson, Antonio Banderas and Sophie Wilde, as well as filmmaker Reijn.
After the screening, Reijn and Kidman hugged and chatted as they made their way down from the theater gallery. The woo-hooing only stopped when they were escorted out of the building.
Babygirl centers on Kidman’s high-powered CEO who puts her life’s work on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern. A24 will next take the film to TIFF before releasing the film in the U.S. on Christmas Day.
