Nicole Kidman, Lulu Wang Break Down ‘Expats’ Premiere, and How Blondie’s ‘Heart of Glass’ Came to Score ‘Haunting’ Dance Scene


'Expats' star Nicole Kidman and creator Lulu Wang discuss spoilers from the Prime Video limited series two-episode premiere.

At first, the acclaimed writer-director of “The Farewell” thought she was just hyper aware of the 1978 classic after she’d handpicked it to score the single moment of genuine happiness in the premiere episode of “Expats,” her new Prime Video limited series. In the premiere, the song serves as a euphoric interruption in an otherwise tough evening out for Kidman’s character Margaret, a landscape architect who has a very public incidentduring a 50th birthday party for her husband, Clarke (Brian Tee). The creeping dread of what the audience knows awaits this otherwise happy family looms over the episode’s final act when Margaret, Mercy and the kids visit one of Hong Kong’s eclectic street markets.
