OlderNicole Kidman: Home Sydney Home
Nicole Kidman arrives in Sydney on Monday with her husband, country superstar Keith Urban, after a flight from Nashville, Tenn.
The couple will be attending Tuesday’s Sydney premiere for her new Baz Luhrmann-directed film, Australia.
Unfortunately for Keith at this year’s Country Music Awards (CMAs), he lost out to Kenny Chesney for Entertainer of the Year and Brad Paisley for Male Vocalist of the Year. Maybe next year!

YAY FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
Australia First Review,
Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman shine in Australia
REVIEW: HE SET himself an enormous challenge, but Baz Luhrmann has pulled off an incredible film in Australia.
Shoehorning two complete films into one package, Australia sees Nicole Kidman as Lady Sarah Ashley, a priviilged aristocrat drawn to the outback to sell her late husband’s failing cattle station.
But she’s soon drawn to the landscape, a little Aboriginal boy called Nullah, played startlingly by newcomer Brandon Walters, and a taciturn drover (Hugh Jackman) who reluctantly helps her save her property.
The film begins with surprising slapstick and trademark Luhrmann over-the-top humour – a scene featuring Jackman giving himself a bath with a bucket is pure beefcake and proud of it – but settles into a compelling and moving tale which traverses war, race relations, class and the Stolen Generation.
It’s a movie with a message, but Luhrmann provides the audience with no shortage of thrills, from a cliff hanger cattle stampede to the bombing of Darwin.
Kidman and Jackman are perfect together, Jackman’s broad speaking drover a perfect foil to Kidman’s snooty English rose.
Australia is full of familiar faces, from David Gulpilil to David Wenham, Bryan Brown to Ben Mendelsohn, but not so familiar places, to many Australians anyway.
Australia features some of the most beautiful photography ever seen in an Australian film, from the Bungle Bungles in the Kimberley to the Northern Territory in the midst of the wet season.
A love letter to the Australian landscape and our history, Australia has international blockbuster written all over it.

me too!!!
can’t wait !!!!
yay!!!
I’ve heard Australia (the film) is the Gone With the Wind for a new generation. That’s a mighty BIG call. HUGE call. But I guess if it’s to be done, who better to do it than Baz and then add those two leads……..I just can’t see how you could go wrong.
Why TWO big long interview’s ?????..and they are the same !!
Nicole is so beautiful and talented that I would watch her in ANY movie….It’s to bad Keith lost out in both of the important CMA’s category, but Kenny and Brad are just as good…Tough call !!!
Where is Sunday Rose ????….left behind with a nanny ?
Thanks for the review!! Sounds exciting and excellent work by Baz. This is going to be a wonderful movie to experience. I’m thrilled that he’s made such a proud moment for Australia.
Woohoo!! A glowing review , CAN´T WAIT EITHER
Good Victoria, little Sunday doesn’t have a day nanny, sez Kidman. I guess she’s back in Nashville left to fend for herself.
I miss Australia (the country)! Don’t know about the film though, not a big fan of nicky kidman in general
