Closer - BLU-RAY Version (2004)

A customer from London, England , 15/03/2008

A bland boring film. Found caracters very unlikeable and uninteresting. The plot is only unpredictable in the sense you wouldn't have thought it could be so bad. The dialogue is mildly humourous at times, and as a Londoner was nice to see some familiar scenery. Big fans of Jude Law or admirers of Natalie Portman may find solace, otherwise, I would say avoid this.

Although the photography is not harshly low key, this still qualifies as a Film Noir, on account of the unrelenting bleakness of the plot and characters. That is not meant to be a complement, though. There is no-one to sympathise with, no-one to relate to, and the whole film is a self indulgent tantrum by an apparently self loathing production team. Shame on the stars that gave credibility to this waste of 104 minutes, by appearing.

I watched this movie with the view that 4 Moviestars could not possibly make a bad movie even worse. This was before I considered the Royal Tenenbaums (a horrid, horrid movie). Closer, with its barely connected storyline is akin to a rickety old train with loose carridges. The theme of this film is honesty, despite the main character's seeming inability to do so. Never before have I witnessed such a depressing and outright boring film. Avoid this like you would avoid tickling a crocodiles anus.

Quite a clever plot, quite a departure for Portman, especially the nude scenes,especially if you remember her in Leon! Worth the effort but wouldn't buy it.
