http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_%28film%29Birth is a 2004 film directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring Nicole Kidman, Lauren Bacall, Danny Huston and Cameron Bright. The story is about a young widow from a prominent Manhattan-based family named Anna (played by Kidman) who slowly becomes convinced that her husband, Sean, who died ten years previously, has been reincarnated in the form of a 10-year-old boy also named Sean (Bright). At first Anna is skeptical, but Sean's intimate knowledge of their past makes her think twice.
Commercially, the movie was unremarkable. Distributed by New Line Cinema, it earned 12th position on its opening weekend, garnering $1,705,577 with bookings at 550 screens. The combined worldwide total box office was $23,925,492, with $5,095,038 in the United States and $18,830,454 abroad.[1][1] Despite some praise for Kidman's portrayal (which earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination) and Glazer's direction, as well as Harris Savides's cinematography and Alexandre Desplat's score, the film generally received middling reviews. The film was considered an "Art-House Hit".
