    • Trivia
      Directed one Oscar-nominated performance: Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole (2010).
    • Quotes
      I have seen so few films in which the sex felt really respected by the filmmaker. Hollywood too often shies away from it or makes adolescent jokes about it. ... Sex is only connected to the negative because people are scared of it.
