Nicole Kidman brings erotic drama ‘Babygirl’ to Venice Film Festival

Nicole Kidman returns to the Venice Film Festival for the world premiere of “Babygirl” on Friday. The erotic drama is about a powerful CEO who jeopardizes her career and family life by having an affair with a younger intern. “Babygirl” is playing in competition at Venice, alongside the likes of “Maria” and the yet to premiere “The Room Next Door,” “Queer” and “Joker: Folie à Deux.” A24 will release it in theaters in December. “Babygirl” was made by “Bodies Bodies Bodies” filmmaker Halina Reijn, who was inspired by a love of erotic thrillers by filmmakers like Paul Verhoeven and Adrian Lyne.
