Nicole Kidman believes that actress and producer Lucille Ball, whose role she played in Being Riccardo, was definitely a genius. She told Izvestia about this in connection with the online premiere of Aaron Sorkin’s film To Be Ricardo.
“Our film is not about Lucille Ball’s show, which everyone knows very well, but about her herself. About what happened behind the theater curtain. About a woman who made such a powerful breakthrough in the industry and in the consciousness of society. She was definitely a genius. In the film, we tell the story of her life. But not according to the traditional “born – lived – died” scheme. Otherwise it would not have been Aaron Sorkin (screenwriter and director of the film. – Ed.), ”Kidman said.
According to the actress, Sorkin focuses on several main events in the heroine’s life and, maneuvering between them, shows the very essence of not only her character, but also her partners. And this is very unusual. That is, this is not a biopic, concluded Nicole Kidman.
The film plays out the events of just one week in the life of the most famous Hollywood couple Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnas (Javier Bardem), who were not only colleagues on the set, but also together produced the most popular sitcom of the 1950s “I Love Lucy”. For the role of Lucy, Nicole Kidman was nominated for a Golden Globe, and the film was shortlisted for the Oscar race.
