You need to prepare yourself before you watch Babygirl (Picture: A24)
Nicole Kidman’s masturbation and ‘cat licking’ aren’t even her wildest moments in hardcore new film
Nicole Kidman’s new erotic thriller Babygirl goes all out with its sex scenes, depicting the Oscar winner on screen in a bolder and racier way than ever before – yes, even than in Eyes Wide Shut 25 years ago.
As Babygirl, in which the Australian star, 57, plays a tech CEO who embarks on a torrid affair with a new young intern (played by 28-year-old Harris Dickinson), premieres at Venice Film Festival, it’s one of several films upping the stakes in terms of its bold explicit content.
We appear to be in a new era of unashamed carnality as the film sees Kidman lapping milk from a dish, masturbating furiously and acting in the throes of climax multiple times – and that’s just for starters.
Written and directed by Halina Reijn, the Dutch actress and filmmaker said she wanted to address the orgasm gap between men and women in her film, as well as explore the complexity of female desire and sexuality as Kidman’s character Romy struggles with her urge to be dominated.
Also in the cast are Antonio Banderas and Bafta nominee Sophie Wilde, who play Romy’s husband Jacob and assistant Esme, respectively.
The Moulin Rouge star said ahead of the premiere that she was ‘frightened’ at the thought of people watching it because of how ‘vulnerable’ she felt making it, putting herself and her body out there, right from the beginning.
However, Kidman also stressed that she never felt ‘exploited’ during filming as it was ‘a story that I wanted to be a part of’ and ‘enormous care taken by all of us’ when it came to intimate scenes.
Without further ado, here’s a taste of Babygirl’s raunchiest scenes, with small spoilers ahead… It should go without saying, probably one best not to watch with your parents or family (if you didn’t learn that lesson from Saltburn).
Babygirl opens with Nicole Kidman orgasming
In case you were in any doubt over the nature of this film, the breathy, easily identifiable sounds of Kidman building to an orgasm are played over the credits as the film begins.
It then immediately cuts to her face as she’s seen riding her husband (Banderas) in a passionate bout of lovemaking, panning down to show both of them during the act.
Although extremely intimate and sexual, this sequence doesn’t actually depict any nudity until Kidman strides through their home after, fully naked and shown from behind, as she pulls on a slip.
The film shows the Oscar winner masturbating to S&M porn
Experienced actress Kidman is also shown indulging in a bit of self-stimulation, which reveals her sexual kink to be the idea of being dominated.
As she watches a couple engage in light S&M, she climaxes quickly by her own hand, lying on the floor.
Her character fantasises sexually about a dog
This one is rather more unexpected, but another way Kidman’s character Romy’s desire is piqued is when she first sees Samuel (Dickinson) …read more
