When Martin Scorsese was a child growing up in New York's Little Italy, he would gaze up at the figures he saw around St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. “Who are these people? What is a saint?” Scorsese recalls.

Speaking to Vanity Fair in a Q&A published on Wednesday, November 13, Kidman, 57, threw some shade Scorsese’s way for his history of writing films centered entirely on male characters. “I’ve always said I want to work with [Martin] Scorsese, if he does a film with women,” said Kidman.

The Oscar-winning director, 81, is known for his male-dominated filmography — such as “The Godfather,” “Goodfellas” and “The Irishman.”
