The cold comes up and there’s nothing better than coming home from work or waiting for the weekend to see a good movie under the sheets, right?On second thought, this month we’re making a special of the best photographic films ever released.Are we going to talk a little bit about the American film Closer?Too Much, directed by Mike Nichols, one of the most acclaimed directors in the film industry.
With a top-notch cast that includes names such as Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen (the last two were nominated for an Oscar for the roles they played in the film), Closer is a dramatic film about romantic relationships with an unpredictable ending.
- The script revolves around Anna (Julia Roberts).
- A well-known and successful photographer who meets and seduces Dan Woolf (Jude Law).
- A failed journalist who tries to release a book and makes a living writing obituaries.
Later, Anna meets Larry Gray (Clive Owen) in a somewhat unusual way, and then marries her.Does Dan have an affair with Anna even after her marriage and wears the mysterious and sensual Alice (Natalie Portman)?A stripper, her source of inspiration, not knowing that Alice has several secrets yet to be revealed.
The excellent performance of the actors and an exquisite photographic direction make the film about romantic relationships much more than that by immersing yourself in the bowels of each character.The dichotomy between conflict and enchantment with the unknown catches our eye.
With a script written by the English playwright Patrick Marber, Closer makes us rething our interpersonal relationships, with a backdrop in the world of photography, we also reflect on the human instinct of being desired, it is the kind of film that never goes out of style.
