Albert Nobbs

Produces0 Comments

Close plays Albert Nobbs, a hotel waiter, in this drama directed by Rodrigo Garcia. Nobbs is a woman who has been living as a man for 30 years in order to make a living for herself in 19th century Ireland. She meets Hubert Page, a painter hired to work on the hotel property where Nobbs lives and works, and is inspired to dream of a different life. Co-starring Janet McTeer and Mia Wasikowska.

People think it’s all about gender but I don’t think it is; it’s about how people survive and about how human beings need to feel safe. I think Albert is truly one of the great characters and the story, for all its basic simplicity, has a strange emotional power.

Relationship with Natalie

Romance0 Comments

Nungesser and Natalie (pseudonym) start a relationship. Natalie claims she felt emotionally and sexually exploited during the relationship, but was unable to identify it as abuse. She says she was suffering from serious depression before meeting Nungesser and had recently ended an emotionally abusive relationship. She would later wonder whether he used her vulnerability to manipulate her. She claims Nungesser often forcefully pinned her arms back against the mattress during sex; Natalie would cry during and after they slept together. Not until months after their break up did Natalie claim to recognize this as non-consensual intercourse. Later, after Sulkowicz’s alleged rape, Natalie and Sulkowicz meet at a party, and they both decide to make formal complaints.

I knew if no one punished him, he would keep on raping women… If I didn’t report it, he would keep harming people for the rest of his time on campus. He had to be stopped. That’s why I decided to report it.

Ex-wife blames Cage

Illness0 Comments

Cage‘s ex-wife Christina Fulton blames Cage for their son’s mental illness and hospitalization. According to Fulton, Weston has been mentally ill for most of his life.

I do not want him with Nicolas Cage. I do not want him in that care. That is not the care my son needs.

In response Weston Cage says:

I am an adult. I don’t want to have anything to do with my mother. Any problems that I have ever had is because of the relationship that I had with my mother.”

Fulton says it is “an absolute disgrace” that the lawyer would solicit such a statement from her son while he was under a psychiatric hold, deemed legally incompetent.
