DianaKidman biography a dirty book?
September 25th 2006 15:15
The new biography of Nicole Kidman, written by apparently eminent cinema critic David Thomson, seems very strange indeed. Peter Conrad reviews it in The Observer. Thomson seems to be slightly obsessed with Kidman erotically. Conrad sees the book as entertaining and says it does contain gushing passages describing her acting skills and affinity with the camera. But some other quotes Conrad pulls out involve Thomson praising Kidman's 'commas of breast', 'boyish hips', 'gingery pubic hair' and 'very pretty bare bottom'.
In what sounds like a pretty complex work, Thomson sees Kidman as the 'allure or witchery of film itself', which is itself inherently voyeuristic, and that VHS and DVD sound like venereal diseases. Kidman is a whore, Thomson says, as is every actress, because they are available for 'intimate relations with strangers'. Kidman is constantly saying to the camera 'wouldn't you like to fuck me?' The book sounds like one man's (very colourfully told) fantasisings, so it isn’t really a biography at all, indeed Conrad says Thomson 'often strays into territory left to pornography' and that he is 'lucky to have such an understanding wife'. One dreads to think how sticky this man's laptop must be.
