so we see there the perfect couple because Nicole Kidman playing the author wife mother married to leave shriber you think that they are the perfect couple until well sometime you don't but n nonetheless well maybe they are it's a mystery within a mystery but I want to ask you what was it like working with her again and how come you keep choosing her to play these kind of murder mystery kind of roles the last time was with the undoing uh that you direct with um Hugh Grant which was hugely successful well she's very she's very enigmatic and she has a kind of you know and I think I think Nicole she's so she's so enigmatic and I think she probably has secret she doesn't know herself in real life you know what I mean she has this kind of you know she's got so many layers but also she's com totally Fearless she is and and she weirdly is devoid of ity you know you have this amazingly I mean amazingly stunningly beautiful women where where you kind of you literally you know when I stand next to her you know I kind of reach her her midwaist I kind of feel like I'm looking up to this sort of beautiful giraff likee creature but she doesn't care she she's much more of a tomboy than she's a somebody who really cares about her looks and I find that really interesting and I find that that kind of mix really fascinating and so it doesn't you don't you don't kind of run out of of of interesting facets to her because it just seems endless now all the women are actually interesting the men are more kind of funny and a little bit weak a little bit I think most of them um some of them are are quite funny some of the angry some of them are wounded but the women are really quite uh strong and that's not an accident the writer Jenna lamir she said the theme that emerged there was that powerful females don't have to be Rivals powerful females can be allies and as I say you've got Nicole Kidman you've got um Eve Houston and you've got Dakota Fanning and you've got a bunch of really important and beautiful young established women do you think their allies though in this when I watched the first you know the first five segments they seem to be much more butting heads a little bit towards the end there was a little bit of saath shown between some of them look I don't I don't consider them allies in this but I do think that they're very strong and I do think that the men I mean part of what I thought was fun about this was that there is a kind of sense that the men are way weaker and the female are much stronger and you know I'm going to be I'm going to be forever cancel if I ask the question whether that possibly reflect the real life you're going to get cancelled I will get canceled yeah but um but um but does that interest you the balance of power generally between the the the yes I also think I also think that part of the part of the I think part of that conflict is somehow an artificial conflict and I think potentially these women could be allies but you better finish the show [Music] [Music]
