Dangerous Liaisons

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2004)

Written by Patrick Marber (based on his stage production) and directed by Mike Nichols - CLOSER is a modern tale on love relationships and everything that comes with it.  Instant attraction, passion, sex, betrayal, revenge, lies, are some of the ingredients that makes this chessboard game a fascinating and spicy journey in the world of human liaisons .
Beautifully directed by Mike Nichols, the story is compelling and tuned on our time, with three-dimensional characters, brilliantly portrayed by Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen . The dialogs are bright, crispy, clever, sometimes crude, sometimes cruel, but always genuine and truly remarkable. An inspiration for all writers.
A #1 flick to watch with your beloved heart
I smell CLOSER all over the next Oscar night.
Great work.
