Nicole Kidman has subtly criticized director Martin Scorsese for not casting women in his films. At Vanity Fair, the actress said she wanted to work with the cinema legend, but if he made a real place for women in his projects.
When she received the American Film Institute’s prestigious Life Achievement Award earlier this year, the Oscar winner listed all the directors she’s worked with. But when Vanity Fair asked her in an interview published this week if there were any notable names she still had her sights set on, the Moulin Rouge star admitted she would love to work with Martin Scorsese.
However, the actress issued a warning. “I always said I wanted to work with Scorsese, as long as he made a film with women,” the Babygirl star said.
Although Nicole Kidman did not elaborate on this subtle allusion, Martin Scorsese has been criticized in the past for his male-heavy films, including The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street and many others. Again. The legendary director defended his directing choices, insisting he was trying to portray masculinity in a way that speaks to everyone accurately.
“The films I’ve been involved with have often been about men’s worlds, where women seem to be adjuncts,” he told Entertainment Weekly. I think the women in Goodfellas and Raging Bull are very strong. But they are not in the ring. In general, I have to be faithful to the society in which the story takes place. I don’t think it’s a good idea to unbalance it just to try to be politically correct.”
