Nicole Kidman is back at it again, wearing luxurious costumes for a historical period film with GRACE OF MONACO, based on the real-life exploits of actress Grace Kelly in her marriage to Prince Rainier III during the French Invasion of Monaco. Kidman playing Kelly is sure to rile up those who adore the classic actress who became a princess, but that's to be expected with most biopics. For me, Kidman is a reliable presence to anything she does (okay, except JUST GO WITH IT), so this should fall well in line with her talents.
Take a look:
Here's the Synopsis:
The story of former Hollywood star Grace Kelly's crisis of marriage and identity, during a political dispute between Monaco's Prince Rainier III and France's Charles De Gaulle, and a looming French invasion of Monaco in the early 1960s.
The film is directed by French filmmaker Olivier Dahaan, who is best known for 2007's LA VIE EN ROSE, which won actress Marion Cotillard an Academy Award for best actress. That's good news for Kidman, I suppose, who hasn't taken home a golden trophy since 2003's THE HOURS. Could GRACE OF MONACO be an awards maker for the actress?
GRACE OF MONACO has a limited release on November 27, 2013.
