Apparently unrelated to her divorce-- from an interview with GQ:
In this moment, I say, it is impossible not to think of a particular Nicole Kidman meme (of which there are many): she’s probably in her early 30s, and she’s standing on the pavement in a pink top, basking in the sunlight, her eyes closed, her arms out, her mouth open as if she’s letting out a deep sigh of relief. Does she know the one I’m talking about?
“Yes,” she says. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!”
The story that goes with this meme whenever it circulates is that Kidman had just left her lawyer’s office after the dissolution of her first marriage. “That’s not true,” she laughs.
Not everything shot for a film gets used. The director might say, “let’s reshoot the scene with wardrobe B” and then you have a new take with a different outfit.
Simple scenes like that often take a few days of work to dial in just right. Or sometimes it’s done with a single take and everyone feels vaguely off about it until they see the edit.

“a film”.
Wouldn’t it be trivially easy to confirm what film it is from the setting? It’s not like she starred in 7563 movies…

But that would require watching movies with Nicole Kidman in them
Start with Dogville if you really don’t like her.
That’s… Pretty fucked up to suggest in that context.
It’s rare that reading the wiki page for a movie does psychic damage and makes me want to see it
Then it accurately represents von Trier’s movie style.
I liked that movie and her in it but it needed to be like an hour shorter… 3 hours felt overly indulgent.
Thanks for making me laugh like an idiot in public
