One question. Does anyone remember the line she (Virginia Woolf) said to her niece? I googled it but couldn't find it.
Something like...
I was thinking of killing my heroine,
but decided not to.
Now I think I'll have to kill someone else.
Yeah, maybe it wasn't that memorable for anyone else, but I suddenly felt great affinity for the character.
Did I miss this conversation last year?

I liked it too -- very much. The scene that gave me great affinity for the VW character was when she was giving instructions to the servants about going into London to get something or other (was it ginger?). "Do I miscalculate?" Fantastic.
I remember the conversation about killing the heroine, but I can't remember the exact phrasing.
I've always liked Nicole Kidman, but it's not like she's been in that many roles where you could really see her acting talents -- but I thought she was fabulous in "The Others" as well. I will confess that I could not understand the hoopla over "La Boheme" (that's not what it was called, was it?). It was ok -- but I didn't get whatever was behind the abundance of praise for her performance -- not that it was bad, just not worthy of all that gushing.
