Closer (DVD)

There were times when the characters lack any kind of depth and when the acting was suspended and replaced with dialogue.
So I suppose it might have worked on stage, but it was such a waste of a good idea and much potential, let drip away.
So what was wrong with it? perhaps the fact that the script was written by a man? His female characters were empty beyond words. No motivation, no reason for their actions/reactions. perhaps that is the way men see women?
But Clive Owen was sizzling as the caveman, absolutely penetrating in his dialogues.
I came a way thinking: this could have been a realy great film.

This movie is in essence about the lives of cosmopolitan londoners in the notties decade. You actually get to see London more than anything else as well... the red double decker buses, the black cabs and the thames river bank pleasures, its all here, and all the while the movie takes you through the amazing love lives of the 4 characters where at some point in their life love, jealousy, betrayal and hurt can all come at the same time and be a part of the same event. A truly modern love story but with some great wise cracks.

Closer is an excellent film with an all star cast. It takes a good look at modern relationships and is very clever the way it tells a story. It can be confusing in place but is an excellent and well acted film.
