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.
i bought this film as im a big clive owen fan.i thought this was an excellant film.the storyline was good,the acting was good and the whole thing of 4 strangers meeting and switching partners etc was quite funny.im not sure if it was suppossed to be a comedy type film but there are some funny moments.clive looks fantastic,if your a clive fan by the way.the other 3 im not a fan of as actors and actresses but the acting was good.i would recommend this film.sit down with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy.brilliant.
I saw this film about a year ago on tv, I thought it was really good how the film developed from a couple meeting to two couples becoming mixed up. Has some really funny parts and some serious ones. My favourite actor Clive Owen is in it so I had to watch it and he aswell as the other actors play the roles very well in my opinion.
The seller i used was excellent and the dvd was in perfect condition and very cheap
I don't know what I was expecting,.....soemething alomg the lines of Love Actually perhaps? It has a great cast and is supposed to be an examination of the modern relationship....call me old fashioned, but this I do not belive is typical of the young relationship. For a start off they are not that young!! And the relationships between the 4 of them lack depth or reason.....its seems totally shallow and it doesn't work.
The whole set up is taudry and not at all believable...and its not the acting, its the script. It was not romantic....and there is no sex......so what was it exactly? What genre does it fall into?
The characters show a promise of a morality, a principle and a rationale in the way relationships are conducted, but in fact underlying the relationships are characters that are weak self indulgent, shallow, insensitive and trite.
If I've missed anything profound then do let me know!!
The only good bit was the end when Alice Ayres goes back to America and hands her passport over to the US official.......it left me thinking.
My daughter wanted the DVD and when I saw it for sale at a cheap price I got it for her.It had only been watched once and was a bargain.It was delivered quickly and was as new.It was a brilliant way to get a gift for my daughter,and kept me happy browsing Ebay.
This is a really bad film. Looking at the cast you would expect this to be well written and directed. However, prepare yourself for the most boring and disappointing 2 hours of your life. The film starts quite well... then 20 minutes in it plummets into a nose dive that it just can't pull out of. One for the 10pence bargain bucket in service stations!
I bought this as a christmas present, the person I bought it for had it on a xmas list so wanted it and had seen it before and obviously liked it, although they did say the ending could have been better.
Good product.. sorry for the delay reply.......................................................................................................................................................................
I decided to buy this after having spoken to a friend whom highly recommended it. I wasn't disappointed with the film and the acting was brilliant. It isn't however a happy upbeat film so if its cheering up your after this isn't the one for you! All in all I'd recommend it to anyone who wants an insight to affairs and relationships.
