The star as author: Nicole Kidman and the mini-series

Back to summary

This talk proposes an exploration of the corpus of mini-series “by” Nicole Kidman, i.e. that she produces and/or interprets: Big Little Lies (2017-2019), The Undoing (2020), Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)… The aim is to analyse the functions of the mini-series for the star (a prestige production which is an alternative to the feature film, and which allows her to reposition herself as an author), taking into account the economic and formal specificities which distinguish these astonishing star vehicles which bear the “Kidman brand“.
