Tom had scored a couple of comps to
The Others last night, so along we went and a bloody good yarn it was too. The director (and writer and composer - bastard, he's only 28), Alejandro Amenábar, did a modest twenty second intro and then it was into it. Nicole Kidman did a fine job as the jittery war widow and managed to redeem herself for the schmaltz-fest that was
Moulin Rouge (again, "yes to dark/edgy stuff, no to romantic stuff" - Dave's First Law of Kidman Roles). The support cast were fantastic too - the
most expressive children perhaps ever created and Fionnula Flanagan as the unsettling housekeeper especially so. Brilliant use of props too - opening doors and drawing curtains will never be the same again. Go and see it soon.
