What a Drag

Albert Nobbs (Glenn Close), the diminutive protagonist of Rodrigo Garcia?s film of the same name, works as a waiter in a posh hotel in late 19th-century Dublin. He speaks little and, when he does, reveals still less. Outside of a cordial master/servant relationship with Dr. Holloran (Brendan Gleeson), a hard-drinking physician in residence at the hotel, the passive, blank-faced Nobbs seems to have no friendships at all. As he prepares for bed one night in his tiny, drab bedchamber, we learn the truth about this cipher of a man: Albert is in fact a woman who?s been passing as male since her hardscrabble teenage years in order to find work and avoid harassment at the hands of men.
