Albert Nobbs (Blu-ray) (2011) - Oscar® Nominee!

Editor's Note Glenn Close co-wrote and stars in this period drama based on the short story THE SINGULAR LIFE OF ALBERT NOBBS by author George Moore, centering on the experiences of a 19th century Irish woman who poses as a man in order to work as a butler at an opulent Dublin hotel for the upper class. Maintaining her elaborate ruse over the course of two decades, Albert (Close) suddenly finds her dedication to the role challenged by the unexpected arrival of a painter who turns out to understand Albert better than anyone she could have imagined. Meanwhile, Albert finds her attempts to help pretty hotel maid Helen (Mia Wasikowska) thwarted when Helen becomes enamored with a charming but callous handyman (Aaron Johnson). ALBERT NOBBS played at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
