I always looked at Nicole Kidman in her movies (and not only) and wandered what made her so fake and what could bring her to life, somehow.
These Leibovitz fairytale-ish pictures don’t make any exception. Not only Nicole parades her botox-ed lips, but she looks, as always, like a wax statue. It’s sad, I think, since she’s surely not an ugly woman, her figure continues to be stunning at her age, but there’s always something fake about her.
I must say, however, I like the unfinished air of the pictures.
Unmistakably signed Annie Leibovitz, they show the set, the lights, the décor and that is one lovely way to build a very artistic photo without making it too obvious. So I remain charmed by the technique, the layout, but not by the characters. Leibovitz has a weird way of taking the focus out from the subject of the photo and put it on the picture itself.
