When is albert nobbs coming to theaters

Essentially, it's a movie about what it means to be happy. Close , who played the cross-dressing, 19th Century Dubliner Albert Nobbs in a play based on a short story by George Moore and co-wrote this film version, presents us with a case so closeted that his "real" identity has evaporated. A lifelong butler, Nobbs doesn't even want to live out loud; he wants to buy a tobacco-shop and find a wife. A pretty servant-girl, Helen Mia Wasikowska , fits the bill, but she's not impressed by merchant-class aspirations.

Glenn Close stars in the title role of Albert, an award-winning role she played on stage more than twenty years ago. Close puts in a remarkable, heart-rending performance as the complex character and pulls off an incredible transformation.

Albert Nobbs is a wonderful drama full of humour, pathos and tenderness. Following a series of unexplained crimes, a father is reunited with the son who has been missing for 10 years. Tell just wants to play cards. Beyond his work colleagues, he is all alone in the world. One day, a man named Hubert Page is hired by Mrs.

Baker to paint one of the rooms in the hotel. She forces Hubert to share Albert's bed for the one night he is required to stay to complete the work, much to Albert's horror. Hubert discovers the reason Albert did not want to share a room with him. But rather than the issue being a problem, Hubert shows Albert that he can follow a slightly different life path than the one he envisioned for himself - one closer to the life that Hubert leads with his wife Cathleen - which includes getting married and having a wife to support him emotionally.

Albert's choice as a bride is his younger flirtatious co-worker Helen Dawes, who, unknown to Albert, is already in a sexual relationship with the brusque and sly Joe Mackins, another co-worker recently arrived to Morrison's. As Albert, Helen and Joe play their respective games of courtship, Albert may find that what seemed to come naturally to Hubert may be more difficult for him.

Quotes Albert Nobbs : A life without decency is unbearable. User reviews Review. Top review. Where Streep infuses her characters with at least a few eccentric affectations, Close's Albert is a fascinating cipher of a woman playing a man so tied up like her corset that she rarely changes expression; her immobile face resembles a plastic-surgery job wound like her too tight, afraid to laugh or cry for fear of pulling her skin down from its moorings behind the ear.

The stoicism is, however, not without its oddball charm, as you are unlikely to meet such an introvert, who is rivaled only by Melville's classic Bartleby. Albert decides to woo young Helen Mia Wasikowska to marry him and settle into a tobacco shop, even though he has not told her he is a woman.

Although Close, a producer and co-writer, doesn't reveal much about Albert's background and the reason for remaining in disguise other than the difficulty of single women surviving in late nineteenth-century Dublin, McTeer's Hubert satisfies us with background information and a current marriage inspiring Albert to pursue Helen.
