Had anyone actually seen?
Is it really her in full frontal or a body double?
It would be great if anyone can describe the scene..like how does it occur, what is visible etc -

I watched Strangerland. Its pretty good film, but not for everyone. Nicole Kidman delivered quite impressivw performance. And I dknt get it, why so many people talk about nude scene big deal. She an actress, and she already got used to show her body when it requires.

Thanks alekperovaulker for your information. Since you saw the movie and we didn't, could you please describe the nude scene? How much do you see, how clear, does she have a full bush or shaved, etc.
Thanks! -

I'm heading out to buy the DVD at Target right now. It came out today in Adelaide. Not sure about the nude scene, but common sense would dictate that a body double was used. I very much doubt if an actress of her stature would be showing all her wares for the whole wide world to gawk at. She used a body double when doing a bed scene with Hugh Jackman in 'Australia'. She's a married woman and married to a famous guy too, meaning she's hardly likely to embarrass him or their kids as well. That's just my take on it.

She's never been shy-see 'Windrider', 'Billy Bathgate', 'Eyes Wide Shut', 'Cold Mountain' etc etc-only reason she wouldn't be getting her kit off now would be age/plastic surgery means she's not as good as she once wasagain, she wasn't shy in the past.

It may have been a body double with her head attached using CGI, or CGI altogether. Her body, especially her breasts, didn't look like her own, as in, they didn't look like hers when she has shown them in other films.
If it was her or a body-double, they didn't look like they were wearing a merkin, the public hair was way to sparse and the slight outline of the vulva can be seen. But the whole body something struck me as just looking weird, like it might have been all CGI from the neck on down.
But on the other hand, as others have posted, she's never been exactly shy about nudity, even full-frontal, when it's done in a non-gratuitous way in the proper context of the particular scene in the film. -

Nude scene was important to show the state of mind of Kathryn (Nicole Kidman). The scene was shown briefly, but right on the street where everyone was staring at her. I can't give the full detail of the scene, however, I did not care much
paying attention at certain part of Nicole's body. I am kind of into movie person. Sorry if I could not give you better answer. I am going to review this film. It will be up online very soon. Nicole was truly amazing. What a performance. It is very important to stay focused the entire film, otherwise, you r going to dislike it. Not because its bad film, which is not it is because you won't get the point of the film if you're distracted all the time. -

It can be double too. I honestly does not care as long as she delivers great performance. And she does though. It was all about her. she seems well prepared for every scenw makibg her character look even more stranger. I actually can see her to get nomination for her role at some point.

So she had no stature until this film, as she appears to be naked in every other movie before this? And does this mean she was really desperate for a role early in her career when she took it all off?
Although, a body double could a smart move. I am not sure if she would be a sight to behold in her birthday suit at about 50 yrs? -

Or simply fx/cgi. It looked fake on Bluray. Today you don't even need body doubles as long you aren't close.

But it was a good display of her state of mind.
The movie itself was a turd. Too much waiting for answers, instead of providing answers. -

I want you all to know (esp: the OP) that all us pretentious movie nerds (like myself) aren't always "super uptight" about having to answer the question of the nudity. When I saw this film, as I do with every film on top of reviewing it, I also put away the possibly nude shots of both men and women in that file in the vault that takes up the majority of a brain. As an obsessed bi-sexual movie goer, lover, and full time critic and full time lover of the human body. I always try to remember where the nude shots occur myself. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I do know that the actual shoot had Nicole in her underwear walking down the street. Here's a news article about it

.
I'm unsure as to if she went naked in front of the camera without an audience and they imposed that on top of the version filmed in the street. To me it did look like bad CGI.
