Nicole Kidman and the botox are back, this time with Aaron Eckhart and Dianne Wiest. But this one looks great - in a Revolution Road, let's all slash our wrists, kind of film. It was hailed as a MUST SEE at Toronto Film Festival and I can see Nicole going for another Oscar but this film looks as though it will have us all drowning in tears. I will have to be in the mood to see this one.
Rabbit Hole is a vivid, hopeful, honest and unexpectedly witty portrait of a family searching for what remains possible in the most impossible of all situations.
Becca and Howie Corbett (Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart) are returning to their everyday existence in the wake of a shocking, sudden loss. Just eight months ago, they were a happy suburban family with everything they wanted. Now, they are caught in a maze of memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly controlled rage from which they cannot escape. While Becca finds pain in the familiar, Howie finds comfort.
The shifts come in abrupt, unforeseen moments. Becca hesitantly opens up to her opinionated, loving mother (Dianne Wiest) and secretly reaches out to the teenager involved in the accident that changed everything (Miles Teller); while Howie lashes out and imagines solace with another woman (Sandra Oh). Yet, as off track as they are, the couple keeps trying to find their way back to a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter and happiness. The resulting journey is an intimate glimpse into two people learning to re-engage with each other and a world that has been tilted off its axis.
Strangely this film is directed by John Cameron Mitchell who brought us Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Shortbus. This does not look like one of his films - where are the drag queens?????? But this guy can make great film so I have high hopes for what he has done with this film.
It is written by David Lindsay-Abaire. His critically acclaimed play "Rabbit Hole" won Broadway's Tony Award for Best Play, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
After signing on as writer for Spider-Man 4, he became the second Pulitzer winner to take on writing a Spiderman screenplay. Michael Chabon, who won the award for his novel "'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay" in 2001 co-wrote Spider-Man 2.
He is also known for writing Inkheart and Robots. He can do lots of great stuff too - this film is sounding better and better. It has a Dec 17th Release date in the US and no confirmed date in Australia as yet.
