I'm a bit confused! Kidman eats her photograph in 'Roar' trailer

Roar trailer

In the upcoming Apple TV+ series “Roar,” Nicole Kidman has done an unusual thing, She eats pictures!  The trailer opens with Kidman’s character looking nostalgic at a photo album. She holds up a faded picture of a little girl, her daughter, maybe, or herself? And then, seemingly overcome with emotion, she crumples up the photo and shoves it into her mouth.

Apple describes

This bizarre moment sets the tone for this eight-part anthology series, which Apple describes as a collection of “darkly comic feminist fables.” “There’s a lot of a photo missing,” a man who may be her husband says in one scene. She replied, “I ate them.” In one particularly chilling storyline, Betty Gilpin plays a woman who thinks her husband is building a shelf to show his golf trophies, but it’s a shelf to display her.

Issa Rae

“Insecure” creator Issa Rae stars in another vignette about a woman who cannot be heard, despite speaking clearly, in a conference room full of men. In other storylines, Meera Syal plays a woman who attempts to return her husband like a lawnmower to a hardware store, while “Run” actor Merritt Wever plays a woman who appears to be dating a duck.

Short stories!

This anthology series is based on a collection of short stories by Irish author Cecelia Ahern. Alison Brie, Cynthia Erivo, Kara Hayward, and Fivel Stewart also star. All eight episodes of “Roar” will debut on Apple TV+ on April 15.
