Natalie Portman reunites with her “Closer” co-star Jude Law in “Vox Lux.”
The last time Natalie Portman was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars (she’s been up for Best Actress twice, winning once), it was for Closer. She’ll try her luck again in another movie co-starring Jude Law.
In director Brady Corbet’s celebrity-obsessed Vox Lux, Portman (with her most distinct accent since Jackie) plays a pop star named Celeste, who’s trying to reenergize her career following a scandal. Portman’s gunning for Best Supporting Actress, rather than lead, because she’s in only half the film: the other half is centered around Celeste as a teenager, who becomes world famous, with the help of her songwriter sister, after surviving a tragedy.
Here’s the official plot synopsis.
Vox Lux opens in select theaters on December 7.
