'It was a chance to explore grief and sexuality': Nicole Kidman opens up about her challenging role as a grieving mother in Strangerland at Sundance Film Festival

The Australian film Strangerland is set to be a hit after impressing critics at the Sundance Film Festival - and Nicole Kidman says her starring role in the movie has taken her to a new level.
The 47-year-old actress says her role as Catherine, a grieving mother of two missing children, was emotionally rich.
It was 'a chance to explore grief and sexuality, which … was really compelling,' the Australian actress told the New York Post's Page Six.

The film's story follows a small town couple whose lives are thrown into grief and despair after their children go missing in a horrendous dust storm in the outback.

Nicole stars opposite Joseph Fiennes, who plays her husband and Hugo Weaving, as the cop searching for answers to their children's disappearance.

Amid a web of secrets and lies the thriller takes on a darker side, requiring Nicole to dig deep and go to a dark place for her character, Catherine.
