Rabbit Hole (2010)
Directed by – John Cameron Mitchell
Cast – Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart
Nominations – Academy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award – Actor in a leading role
Rabbit Hole deals beautifully with the lives of Becca and Howie who have lost their son in an accident. The subject is quite tragic but the plot and the narrative does not delve only on the tragedy part and grief. But there are sub plots as well, the lives of others which get intertwined as well, mostly family and friends.
Nicole gives a superb performance, undoubtedly. I liked the thought process and the concept behind the comic series created, and the detailed and intricate activities that goes into the making of it.
We went for the 10 AM show at PVR on a Saturday, and was expecting it to be not crowded. I was right, we had a free seating as there were hardly 10-12 people in the hall. I had a slightly more number somewhere around 30-35 people when I went for ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’, the previous week.
I am planning to go for ‘The Fighter’ and ‘The King’s Speech’ this week, for the special Oscar screening at PVR. I hope these dismal turnout does not result in cancellation. The other way around is also equally dangerous, if there is a sudden downpour of viewers.
