SunLive Competition

Glenn Close (from TV’s Damages) dons a top hat in this tale of a woman posing as a male butler in 19th century Ireland.

During an era where female independence was non-existent and heavily discouraged, Albert Nobbs (Close) escapes a life of poverty and despair by disguising herself as a ‘himself’. However, she seeks to dismantle her façade after meeting a handsome painter. While seeking to reconstruct an ordinary life, she acquires the company of a gorgeous young house maid (Mia Wasikowska, Jane Eyre), who has her own man-seeking agendas.

This is the third big-screen pairing of Glenn Close and director Rodrigo Garcia, the prior two being Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her and Nine Lives.

Albert Nobbs is now showing at Rialto Tauranga.
