Australian actress Nicole Kidman won the award for best actress at the Venice Film Festival. Frenchman Vincent Lindon was honored as best actor. The jury announced this in the evening.
In “Babygirl,” Kidman (57) plays a woman who lives out long-suppressed sexual desires. The erotic drama by Dutch director Halina Reijn tells the story of female desire in an innovative way. Kidman plays a businesswoman who begins an affair with a much younger intern (Harris Dickinson).
In the drama “Jouer avec le feu” by Delphine and Muriel Coulin, Lindon (65) plays a single father who has to deal with the fact that one of his sons is diving into the right-wing extremist milieu.
