Breaking Baz @ Cannes: Nicole Kidman, “The Barefoot Queen Of Cannes”, Wanted To Party On The Beach But Had To Fly Home For Her Kids’ Exams


Baz Bamigboye went to the Nicole Kidman tribute event in Cannes and noted that the “Barefoot Queen Of Cannes” wanted to party on the beach but had to fly home.

After posing with fellow Women in Motion honoree Marianna Brennand — garlanded for her film Manas, about acts of incest in a remote part of the Amazon basin in Brazil — Kidman told me that she had to get back to “my daughters” Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret in Nashville to help with their exams. The Oscar-winning artist last trod the boards 10 years ago, portraying DNA pioneer scientist Rosalind Franklin in Anna Ziegler’s play Photograph 51, directed by Michael Grandage. Cannes legend Quentin Tarantino wasn’t able to chat with me following the ecstatic world premiere screening in the Palais of Richard Linklater’s movie Nouvelle Vague, about the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless.
