Albert Nobbs [DVD]

Starring five-time Oscar nominee GLENN CLOSE, ALBERT NOBBS is inspired by the story that Istvan Szabo created from George Moore's novel 'The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs' set in the 19th century. XIX. Rodrigo García, director of 'In Treatment' ( TV ), Mothers and Daughters, Nine Lives or Things I'd Say Just by Looking at Her (winner in the 'A Certain Regard' section at the Cannes Festival), takes a turn in his career to embark in a different project: a period film based on a successful novel. Set in Victorian-era Dublin, Glenn Close plays a woman caught in an unusual love triangle. In a conservative and oppressive society, Albert Nobbs is forced to hide his status as a woman in order to work and have an economic support, although over time the character he has created becomes a real prison for him. Along with Glenn Close (Golden Globe Nominee for Albert Nobbs), who in addition to starring is co-producer and co-writer of the film, you can see nominee Janet McTeer (Oscar nominee for Tumbleweeds and Golden Globe Nominee for Albert Nobbs), the young and promising Mia Wasikowska (In Treatment, The Boys Are All Right, Alice in Wonderland) and Aaron Johnson (Nowhere Boy, Kick-Ass, The Illusionist), as well as Jonathan Rhys Meyers ('The Tudor', Match Point, Mission Impossible 3) and Brendan Gleeson (Lost in Bruges, Troy, Gangs of New York, Braveheart). With 3 Golden Globe Nominations (Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song -Lay Your Head Down, performed by Sinead O Connor-) and 2 Screen Actors Guild Nominations (Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress), ALBERT NOBBS enters the red carpet and steps firmly into the Oscar Race.
