Actress Nicole Kidman was met by a chorus of boos at the premiere of her shocking new movie Birth - which sees her fall in love with a ten-year-old boy.
The redhead, 37, stars as Anna, who believes a young boy, played by Cameron Bright, is her reincarnated dead husband.
Many disgusted viewers walked out of the theater at the Venice Film Festival Tuesday night after a shocking nude scene featuring Kidman and the boy sharing an erotic bath.
The movie's director, Jonathan Glazer, was disappointed by the reaction but is thrilled it is the front-runner for this year's prestigious Golden Lion award.

Must be bad for the Euros to boo her.

I thought Cruise was nutty, but it appears that Kidman will do anything to revive a dying career.

After 'Eyes wide shut' and 'Human Stain', why are people still going to see her work?

Hollywood always tries to check for boundaries, then are shocked when they find one. Another example: Janet Jackson's "Wardrobe Malfuntion"

I hope it dies a quick death at the theaters.
To: BurbankKarl
That makes sense.
People hate the movie, so it is sure to win an award.
That explains Michael Moore's oscar too.

I think she is a fine actress, well maybe not after this movie, but a decent one still.

It must be really disturbing to go to all that trouble and money to make a picture that the uncleansed stupid masses do not appreciate.

In reality this scene depicts the rape of a minor, still punishable in our country. They are disappointed even Europeans still understood how vile this is?
