Glenn Close ( Dangerous Liasons ) dons a top hat in this tale of a woman posing as a male butler in 19th Century Ireland.
During an era where female independence was non-existent and heavily discouraged, Albert Nobbs (Close) escapes a life of poverty and despair by disguising herself as a “himself.” However, she seeks to dismantle her façade after meeting a handsome painter. While trying to reconstruct an ordinary life, she acquires the company of a gorgeous young house maid (Mia Wasikowska, Jane Eyre ), who has her own man-seeking agendas.
This is the third big-screen pairing of Glenn Close and director Rodrigo Garcia, the prior two being Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her and Nine Lives . Close, who also co-wrote the screenplay, originally played the role in a 1982 stage production.
