Nicole Kidman’s masturbation and ‘cat licking’ aren’t even her wildest moments in hardcore new film

Nicole Kidman’s new erotic thriller Babygirl goes all out with its sex scenes, depicting the Oscar winner on screen in a bolder and racier way than ever before – yes, even than in Eyes Wide Shut 25 years ago.

As Babygirl, in which the Australian star, 57, plays a tech CEO who embarks on a torrid affair with a new young intern (played by 28-year-old Harris Dickinson), premieres at Venice Film Festival, it’s one of several films upping the stakes in terms of its bold explicit content.

We appear to be in a new era of unashamed carnality as the film sees Kidman lapping milk from a dish, masturbating furiously and acting in the throes of climax multiple times – and that’s just for starters.

Written and directed by Halina Reijn, the Dutch actress and filmmaker said she wanted to address the orgasm gap between men and women in her film, as well as explore the complexity of female desire and sexuality as Kidman’s character Romy struggles with her urge to be dominated.

Also in the cast are Antonio Banderas and Bafta nominee Sophie Wilde, who play Romy’s husband Jacob and assistant Esme, respectively.

The Moulin Rouge star said ahead of the premiere that she was ‘frightened’ at the thought of people watching it because of how ‘vulnerable’ she felt making it, putting herself and her body out there, right from the beginning.

However, Kidman also stressed that she never felt ‘exploited’ during filming as it was ‘a story that I wanted to be a part of’ and ‘enormous care taken by all of us’ when it came to intimate scenes.

Without further ado, here’s a taste of Babygirl’s raunchiest scenes, with small spoilers ahead… It should go without saying, probably one best not to watch with your parents or family (if you didn’t learn that lesson from Saltburn).

In case you were in any doubt over the nature of this film, the breathy, easily identifiable sounds of Kidman building to an orgasm are played over the credits as the film begins.

It then immediately cuts to her face as she’s seen riding her husband (Banderas) in a passionate bout of lovemaking, panning down to show both of them during the act.

Although extremely intimate and sexual, this sequence doesn’t actually depict any nudity until Kidman strides through their home after, fully naked and shown from behind, as she pulls on a slip.

Experienced actress Kidman is also shown indulging in a bit of self-stimulation, which reveals her sexual kink to be the idea of being dominated.

As she watches a couple engage in light S&M, she climaxes quickly by her own hand, lying on the floor.

Her character fantasises sexually about a dog 

This one is rather more unexpected, but another way Kidman’s character Romy’s desire is piqued is when she first sees Samuel (Dickinson) as he manages to tame and quiet an aggressive, barking dog in the street.

Although it’s shown at the time to have had some impact on her, it’s a visual she returns to more than once, fantasising about being the dog and being called ‘good girl’ by the young intern.

Romy also appears to get off on the idea, as it’s something she later thinks about during sex, inserting it into a memory of one of her and Samuel’s encounters.

As Romy and Samuel hash out the nature of their relationship once they succumb to temptation, he acts on his instincts that she likes ‘being told what to do’.

Although his boss is at first reluctant to act on this, when he insists she be honest, Romy gives in – and one of the first things he demands she does, after standing in the corner with her face to the wall, is get on all fours.

She also eats a sweet out of his palm and then spits it back out under instruction while on her hands and knees.

During another scenario with Samuel, Romy eagerly laps up milk from a dish like a cat before turning her face up to his.

Dickinson as Samuel then promptly starts to lick clean her face before kissing her. Hey, whatever works for you.

Romy and Samuel’s first full sexual encounter sees her enjoy a particularly intense orgasm.

Although Babygirl relies more on suggestive dialogue and reaction than nudity, there is still one major scene with it.
