...surreal," says Kidman, 33. "I did have a miscarriage, and I'm still coping with that." As for the divorce, "there are two kids involved, and the press is not the place to play it out ... I could have said, 'I'm not doing any press for this film. See ya later. I'm not coming out until I am completely healed.' But I don't know if that will ever happen." In hindsight, is it so surprising that the couple didn't last? She was only 23 when they married. Since then, she has tried to define herself...

While the atmosphere is powerful, the video keeps you hooked. The amazing video work takes advantage of the double-screen, converging and diverging on specific images to show a dazzling array of hypnotic designs. Colors like bronze, gold, silver and marble create an almost surreal on-screen ambiance. The museum from which the film was recorded was built to resemble a ruin, which distorts the perception of time and space.
