Birth - closing scene on the beach

Final scene of Jonathan Glazer's impressive movie 'Birth' (2004). We see Anna (played brilliantly by Nicole Kidman), confused and desparate on the beach, on the very day she remarries. Her fresh new husband, Joseph (played by Danny Huston), tries to comfort her.
The great score of the film is by composer Alexandre Desplat.

Notice the camera stays focused on Nicole, even when her husband steps into the picture. And notice that at 1:26, you can begin to hear her breath, like she's reborn in a sense. And then she turns away to walk with her new husband, as if the emotional release before that, was allowing her a new beginning. The white wedding dress is another highly effective use of symbolism here, signaling a new beginning. This scene is film-making at its best!

Emotionally, a deeply affecting film. It also serves as a reminder at to why Kidman stands apart.

I love the entire movie, every second, I beleave in re-birth and remembrances about it. But its not about what I beleave, the movie is so incrirable for me. I love her action, not only in this movie but in all the rest! Thanks.

gosh this movie is amazing! first time i watch this just for fun, then i watch til its end. even if the ending is confusing but i love the movie. the actors and actress is amazing good in acting.especially the young sean(cameron bright) and nicole. i love this. but it will be more cute if the ending is more clear. so we can conclude the story

@Branigan4ever i actually see it as she runs away to the beach and stands feet deep in the rolling waves symbolising she wishes to escape to be apart of the world that sean is in, showing how she never really did move on from sean and she makes that very clear throughout the whole movie and i thinks its given this unconcluded ending done intentionly to help show Glazers idea of a eternal love that can never be broken not even by death.

@folladordeprostis Twilight, bloody hell! I still think this movie is amazing and I agree with all the Danny Huston comments, he's terrific too.
