BIRTHDAY GIRL (2002)
JEZ BUTTERWORTH
Plot
This, the last film four film ever made, is a quirky comedy thriller with lovely performances from Ben Chaplin and Nicole Kidman. John (Chaplin) leads a monotonous and lonely life, loaths his job at the bank and lives in a typical middle England cul-de-sac. Stricken with boredom, he buys a Russian wife over the internet. (as you do) ...Enter 'Nadia' (Kidman), the sassy Russian bride who doesn't speak a word of English. A bizarre turn of events take place as Nadia takes John, and indeed us the audience, on a tumultuous ride. Watch and relish, this is great fun.
