BIRTHDAY GIRL
synopsis

"Ok, when you think about it, England is just a small island. I mean, I know that gives you about 20 million girls to choose from - but if you live in a small town and work long hours, you're just not going to get a chance to meet them all."

-- John Buckingham

Perpetually lonely, decidedly mild-mannered bank clerk John Buckingham (BEN CHAPLIN) is about turn his life helter-skelter with a last-ditch attempt at love: ordering a mail order bride straight off the "From Russia With Love" website. The result is an offbeat romance that turns unexpectedly into a rollicking comic thriller when his mysterious, chain-smoking "birthday girl" Nadia (NICOLE KIDMAN) arrives in England with a surprise in tow: her cousins (VINCENT CASSEL, MATHIEU KASSOVITZ) are right behind her.

Now, John's routine existence is about to be blown out of the water as he finds himself drawn into an adventure he didn't ask for, but might be exactly what he needs. Forced into robbing his own bank to save Nadia's life, John discovers that everyone involved has a few surprises up their sleeves, including himself.

BIRTHDAY GIRL concocts a Molotov mixture of love, humour and madcap crime. The film is directed by Jez Butterworth and written by Tom and Jez Butterworth. The producers are Stephen Butterworth and Diana Phillips.

BIRTHDAY GIRL
production notes

"Where does it say you have to meet the love of your life in the supermarket?"

Finding someone to love is never easy, but in the case of BIRTHDAY GIRL, the process becomes downright outrageous and dangerous, involving the Internet, Russian con-artists, a bank hold-up, "Cats," sexual entanglements, car troubles and the ever-dry British sense of humour as romance takes a left turn into the territory of the dark comic thriller. What starts out as a tale about a lovelorn suburbanite and his incompatible mail-order bride suddenly transforms into a story about an ordinary man overtaken by a wave of crime and passion.

This is the romantic thriller as viewed by the Butterworth brothers, a British filmmaking family - including director Jez Butterworth, co-writer Tom Butterworth and producer Stephen Butterworth -- who have lent the genre a spirited and mischievous comic edge. The Butterworths, who made an acclaimed debut with the hip Brit-gangster film "Mojo," decided to take on a different genre this time. With BIRTHDAY GIRL, they meld the classic "opposites attract" storyline with their own distinctive style: decking it out with elements of crime and suspense; quirky, stereotype-smashing characters; sudden surprise twists; barbed but playful dialogue: and high-energy charm in the most gritty situations.

To this, they added a colourful, equally unexpected cast that includes Nicole Kidman taking a comic turn in the wake of accolades for the musical "Moulin Rouge" and the sophisticated classic thriller "The Others" and up-and-comer Ben Chaplin, who returns to his native England at last after finding success in Hollywood. By pairing Kidman as a Russian con artist with Chaplin as a mild-mannered British bank clerk nearly undone by her complexities, BIRTHDAY GIRL concocts a lot of cross-cultural sexual tension.

For the Butterworths, BIRTHDAY GIRL was always about communication - and the lack thereof that seems to afflict so many modern relationships. They wondered what a man might do if he sent away for a mail order bride and was suddenly confronted with a stunning woman who nevertheless couldn't speak his language, understand his culture, or make any sense at all to him . . . except in the bedroom. The inevitable awkwardness, and potential for mishaps and malice aforethought, struck the Butterworths as at once humorous and high-tension- and the story took off from there.

In researching BIRTHDAY GIRL, the Butterworths became particularly intrigued by the internet-wide proliferation of websites offering Russian brides to British and American men who have been as yet unlucky in love. They became fascinated with sites on which beautiful but mysterious Russian women presented their life stories in quick video snippets that seemed to hold a lot of room for surprises. Thus, they created the character Nadia -- who emerges from an Aeroflot flight a chain-smoking, head-nodding enigma, entirely unable to speak so much as a word of English despite the promises of her mail-order profile.

In fact, the first part of BIRTHDAY GIRL is boldly told almost entirely through Ben Chaplin's flummoxed, one-sided interaction with Kidman's Garboesque shy bride. When the actors received the scripts, there was so little dialogue in the first act it seemed to have sprung from another era, except for the overt sexiness and modern situations.

"We realized that since we were dealing with two people who can not communicate by conventional means, we could only reveal John and Nadia through their physical behaviour and this was a lot of fun," explains Jez Butterworth. "We liked the idea of doing a kind of silent film sequence in the middle of a very contemporary setting."

But once the plot begins to take off, the film's tone changes suddenly. The wordless dance between Nadia and John erupts into barbed dialogue and intense action, especially when Nadia's Russian cousins enter the picture . . . and begin to reveal her secret plans for her new husband.

* * * *

"Don't tell me¡K it's so cold in Russia, you have to go to England and shag people to keep warm?"

With the script completed, the Butterworths began to look for a cast - and the results were quite unexpected even to them. Despite the fact that three of the main characters are heavily accented Russians, they ultimately cast no Russian actors at all. Instead they wound up with an ensemble that included a major American movie-star, an acclaimed European filmmaker and a revered French actor in the Russian roles.

Explains Stephen Butterworth: "We took a trip to Moscow to see if any real Russians might fit the bill, and Jez met everyone who would have been an obvious contender. They wheeled out the most fantastic roll call of the finest Russian actors - and it was quite spectacular and impressive. Unfortunately, none of them spoke a word of English, even though we had been assured that they were fluent." This event ultimately inspired the first joke of BIRTHDAY GIRL -- that Nadia cannot speak English as promised by the mail-order catalogue - but it also broadened the filmmakers' search.

The most essential role was of course Nadia, the dangerous beauty whom John Buckingham almost immediately regrets taking into his home. Unable to find a Russian actress who possessed the necessary combination of sly wit, cool sexiness and ability to also understand rudimentary English, Butterworth began to entertain the idea of looking outside of Russia. But he never considered an American until Nicole Kidman showed interest in the part.

"She's not exactly Russian," Butterworth admits, "but when I spoke to Nicole, I realized that she understood the character utterly and completely. She was superb to work with because her instincts are extraordinary, probably sharper than any other actor I've worked with. She was terrific and uniquely funny as Nadia."

Kidman was drawn to the challenge and to the dark, boisterous fun of the role. "I am always drawn to black comedies," says the actress who earlier made an indelible addition to the genre with Gus Van Sant's "To Die For," which garnered her a Golden Globe Award. "And I was also interested in playing a Russian woman, because she's obviously so far from me and it allowed me to really create her character from scratch."

Kidman was also excited by the idea of working with a young filmmaker such as Jez Butterworth who works outside the standard structures with his own creative vision. "It's so great to work with a writer/director combination because he really knows the character and can adapt it to you on the spot," she says. "Jez has great taste in performance so I really trusted him - and then he has his own wonderfully unusual sense of humour which I like very much."

"Banking asks a great deal of an individual.
It says 'Here's all this money. Don't . . . steal it.'"

Also drawn to the Butterworths' brand of comic mayhem was Ben Chaplin who stars as John Buckingham, a man whose uncomplicated life in the London suburbs is turned helter-skelter from the minute Nadia arrives, leading him down a path of crime and thrills he could never have imagined.

Chaplin felt an immediate affinity for John, even if he does resort to somewhat incredible measures - buying a bride off the internet -- in the search for love. He decided to imbue the character with a touching shyness and total lack of awareness regarding his own charm and appeal. "I didn't judge John at all for buying a bride," Chaplin says. "I think there are lots of attractive but desperately lonely guys out there just like him. Everyone's met one."

Having starred in mostly American movies of late, Chaplin was also thrilled to find himself at home in the familiarity of playing a true Englishman. "I haven't played an English character for so long time that I was missing it and John is really close to home in that he comes from a similar background and similar part of England to me. I understand him, I think, although I do hope I'm not entirely like him!"

On the set, Nicole Kidman found Chaplin a delightful adversary in the film's romance-gone-awry. "I had always wanted to work with Ben and this experience was really fun," she comments. "I felt very safe with him, particularly having to do the Russian accent because he always made me feel that it was going to be OK. Most of all, he is a great comedian and that was a constant inspiration."

"Who are you?"
"We're Russians!"

The comedy of BIRTHDAY GIRL takes a dark turn when Nadia's so-called Russian cousins show up to celebrate her birthday - and they turn out to be villainous con-men who nevertheless enjoy such pursuits as debating the merits of "Cats." Again, Jez Butterworth cast entirely against type, taking a chance on two French actors: acclaimed French director and actor Mathieu Kassovitz (winner of the Cannes Film Festival Palme D'Or for "Hate" and star of the recent runaway hit "Amelie") and equally honoured actor Vincent Cassel. Both men took a crash course in Russian dialects shortly before filming.

Producer Diana Phillips explains: "Vincent Cassel and Mathieu Kassovitz were Jez's great insight because their commitment to learning their roles in short order was extraordinary. Most of their dialogue work took place on the twenty two-hour flights they took from France to Sydney - during which a dialogue coach taught them their Russian lines. There was also a dialect coach on set who taught the cast how to speak in Russian-accented English. It was a very fast transformation."

The fact that Cassel and Kassovitz had already collaborated on several projects together created a fearless working relationship for the duo, necessary for their free-wheeling roles. "Ordinarily it would have been difficult to build a believable relationship between Yuri and Alexei in such short time, but we were helped by the fact that we already know each other so well," says Cassel.

Jez Butterworth found out only after he had cast Vincent and Mathieu separately that the two were already friends: "These guys were totally right for the parts as individuals, and the fact that they are friends adds an extra dimension to their roles. I had seen Mathieu in 'A Self Made Hero' and thought he was brilliant - he plays a liar in that film, as he does in ours, and you really believe him. I also think Vincent is one of the best actors around."

Mathieu Kassovitz enjoyed playing the acid-tongued wise guy Yuri, a character who appears to be one thing, then suddenly becomes something completely different: "The script is so well written that the characters have all sorts of shades to them. At first Yuri and Alexei play exaggerated Russian characters in order to deceive John, but once the scam is out in the open they can act more normally. Then the audience can see that they're not exactly real gangsters - they've just had to find a way to survive."

Vincent Cassel found that there was a very physical difference between acting in Russian versus English: "Sometimes we would try and rehearse in English in order to understand exactly what everybody was saying. But it changes everything. I watched Nicole do her lines in English and then in Russian and her body language was completely changed. Everything was so different that we realized the language altered you as much as your costume or make-up might."

Despite his broad experience in European cinema, Cassel felt that he learned a lot from working with Kidman. "It was very interesting to watch her work because she's so relaxed," he notes. "Especially when we worked in Russian. If you're not relaxed with the language you tend to deliver it faster, but she was very calm and helped to slow the pace to the right tempo."

Nicole Kidman found working with the two French actors equally intriguing. "I was just thrilled when I heard Mathieu and Vincent were doing the film because it seemed like such unusual casting, yet perfect in a strange way," she comments. "We were all equally frightened to play Russians, which I think was good because it made us work harder. They are both very instinctual and brought so much to the characters and to the set."

"You can't hurt me more than I'm hurt already."
"Nadia, if it's all the same to you, I'd like to give it a bash."

BIRTHDAY GIRL is set in St. Albans, a sleepy London commuter suburb in the Hertfordshire countryside that typifies the ordinary working-man lifestyle of John Buckingham - until Nadia arrives. An old Roman city featuring a medieval clock tower and a pub named "Ye Olde Fighting Cocks," picturesque St. Albans is also the home territory of the Butterworth brothers. In fact, Stephen Butterworth admits that he and his brothers have each been kicked out of the town's pub at one time or another.

Despite their desire to authentically capture St. Albans, the Butterworths shot the interiors of their film mainly in Australia. Explains Diana Phillips: "We went to Australia because it worked best for everybody. It was wonderful to be able to work in Nicole's hometown and Ben's family happens to live in Sydney so he was thrilled to be able to spend some time with them. Since the bulk of Nicole's work on this film was interiors it made sense to work this way."

But when it came to the exteriors, the Butterworths happily returned to their home turf to capture London's quaint countryside suburbs -- which have rarely been seen on film. Explains Jez Butterworth: "What I like so much about Hertfordshire and St. Albans is that the beauty is there, but you have to search for it. There are lovely bits of countryside, but they're bisected by motorways. This theme reflects the characters of BIRTHDAY GIRL, as well. They may be beautiful people deep down, but they have been overridden, alienated and separated from themselves. The surface shows one thing, but there's a lot happening underneath."

BIRTHDAY GIRL
about the cast

Nicole Kidman (NADIA)

In a sexy comic turn, Nicole Kidman stars as Nadia, a chain-smoking Russian mail-order bride whose arrival in London turns a mild-mannered bank clerk's life upside down.

Kidman's luminous career is noted for the variety of curious, intelligent and entertaining roles she has chosen. In high form since Philip Noyce's 1989's "Dead Calm," she is truly an actress for many audiences, and can make quixotic shifts from period and country from one film to the next. This year she came to the fore in two vastly different, but acclaimed, performances: in Baz Lurhmann's imaginative musical "Moulin Rouge" and in Alejandro Amenabar's sophisticated psychological horror tale "The Others."

In 1996, she fully realized the stubbornly independent but erred heroine, Isabel Archer, of Henry James' "The Portrait of a Lady," filmed by Jane Campion. A year earlier she received a Golden Globe for Best Actress as the spritely homicidal maniac, Suzanne Stone, in Gus Van Sant's black comedy "To Die For."

A native of Australia, where much of BIRTHDAY GIRL was filmed, she has undertaken daring roles, like her provocative stint on Broadway in "The Blue Room," performing for the late Stanley Kubrick's in his final work, "Eyes Wide Shut;" Mimi Leder's "The Peacemaker" and Griffin Dunne's "Practical Magic." Her other films include "Batman Forever," "Malice" and "My Life."

Upcoming is Stephen Daldry's adaptation of Michael Cunningham's "The Hours" with Meryl Streep, which will be also be released by Miramax. In 2002, she will begin production on the Lars Von Trier film "Dogville" opposite Stellan Skarsgard. Later in the year, Kidman will join director Robert Benton for the second time when she stars opposite Anthony Hopkins in "The Human Stain."

Ben Chaplin (JOHN)

Ben Chaplin returns to his native England to play John Buckingham, a straight-laced bank clerk who has been so unlucky in love he resorts to ordering a Russian bride off the internet - and winds up in the middle of a bank-robbing free-for-all.

Chaplin's first international starring role came in Michael Lehmann's romantic comedy "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" in which he co-starred with Uma Thurman and Janeane Garofalo. More recently, Chaplin has received critical acclaim for his performance as Private Jack Bell in Terence Malick's World War II drama "The Thin Red Line" alongside Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, Nick Nolte and George Clooney.

Other film credits include Janusz Kaminski's "Lost Souls" opposite Winona Ryder, Agnieszka Holland's "Washington Square" with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Maggie Smith, Chris Menaul's "Feast of July" and James Ivory's "The Remains of the Day" starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. He will soon be seen in Barbet Schroeder's "Fool Proof" with Sandra Bullock and in the Hong Kong action film "The Touch."

Theatre credits include John Burgess' "The Neighbour" at the Royal National Theatre, James McDonald's "Peaches" at the Royal Court Theatre and Sam Mendes' "The Glass Menagerie" at the Donmar Warehouse for which Chaplin was nominated for an Olivier Award.

Mathieu Kassovitz (YURI)

In a twist of identity perfect for BIRTHDAY GIRL's style, Russian wise guy Yuri is played by French film director Mathieu Kassovitz.

A true auteur of French Cinema, Kassovitz has been one of the leading filmmakers to emerge in recent years. Writer-director of the acclaimed drama "Hate (La Haine)," the film won the Palme d'Or for Best Director at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival as well as Cesar (French Academy) awards for best Screenplay and Editing. He has directed the French language films "The Crimson River", "Assassins" and "Metisse".

As an actor, Mathieu won the Best Young Actor Cesar for his performance in "A Self-Made Hero." He has appeared in such films as Luc Besson's "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" and "The Fifth Element," and Peter Kassovitz's (Mathieu's father) "Jakob the Liar." Most recently, he starred in the run-away international hit "Amelie."

Through his production company, MNP, Mathieu is currently developing several new projects in both the US and France.

Vincent Cassel (ALEXEI)

Nicole Kidman's wild and brutish Russian "cousin" Alexei is played by acclaimed French actor Vincent Cassel. Renowned in Europe, Cassel starred in Mathieu Kassovitz's critically acclaimed "Hate" and "The Crimson Rivers," Luc Besson's "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc," Gilles Mimouni's "L'Appartement" and the upcoming "Brotherhood of the Wolves."

Cassel made his English language debut as the effete Duc d'Anjou in Shekhar Kapur's hugely successful period drama "Elizabeth." He most recently completed the English language films, "The Reckoning" with Willem Dafoe and was the voice for the role of Robin Hood for the animated summer blockbuster "Shrek." Cassel has also directed the short film, "Shabbat Night Fever."
