COLD MOUNTAIN

Part of A Celebration of Nicole Kidman

In this classic story of love and devotion set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, a wounded Confederate soldier named W.P. Inman (Jude Law) deserts his unit and travels across the South, aiming to return to his young wife Ada (Nicole Kidman), who he left behind to tend their farm. As Inman makes his perilous journey home, Ada struggles to keep their home intact with the assistance of Ruby (Renée Zellweger), a mysterious drifter sent to help her by a kindly neighbor. DIrected by Anthony Minghella, COLD MOUNTAIN features a stellar supporting cast including Brandon Gleeson, Natalie Portman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Donald Sutherland and Jack White, among others.

“With her flashing eyes and stalk-like body, she’s on top of her game…as a minister’s daughter devoted to duty but eager to break out. Although Kidman has been in movies for 20 years, she seems utterly fresh, as if she’d just been hatched somewhere deep in the most extravagant moviegoer’s imagination.” —David Denby, New Yorker (Dec 14, 2003)

“Kidman supplies all manner of subtle inflections and increasingly radiant expressions that keep Ada interesting and make her grow….” —Todd McCarthy, Variety (Dec 7, 2003)
