Elle Magazine – The Escape Artist

The November 2008 edition of Elle Magazine features a stylish looking Nicole Kidman on their cover, with a substantial interview and array of glamour shots within.

The accompanying interview takes place in Nicole’s adopted hometown of Tennessee. “There’s something to be said for going back to a simple form of living—nature and family. There’s something very…there’s safety in that.” Which is what her character in this month’s romantic epic Australia comes to realize. “She’s so tightly wound and incapable,” Kidman says. “And she’s never had love. But she learns to believe and trust through the nature of the landscape and the adventure of what’s happening to her, and the country wears her down and takes away the facade. And she’s finally able to become a living, breathing, fully evolved person. She becomes of the earth.”

Shot over the course of nine months, the film is ultimately a love triangle, though not one we’ve come to expect.
