Chronology
A powerful CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a whirlwind affair with her much younger intern. Go behind the scenes of Babygirl with stars Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson and writer/director Halina Reijn in this exclusive interview..
This movie is really different from other young girl-girl romances this year
Featured on The Graham Norton Show: Nicole Kidman /Cynthia Erivo/James Norton/Chris McClausland/Benson Boone (2024). The focus is not on an affair with a young girl, but on the heroine as a middle-aged person trying to explore her long-standing sexual fantasies and struggling to face reality.
Because what she likes is not young meat, but alternative sexual fetishes
Self, or suppressing and covering up the need to be a normal person. Moreover, in several other old-young romances, the woman is single (widowed or divorced).
So it’s no longer a comedy or a fantasy, but presented in a suspense-thriller manner, exploring not love but self-awareness
The purpose is to avoid moral condemnation and only to satisfy the female audience, therefore they are all presented in the form of romantic comedies. But this film deals with ethics such as cheating and inappropriate behavior in the workplace, and emphasizes the heroine’s inner condemnation, shame and desire to stop.
