I just finished watching 2004's Closer on DVD. Yes I know I'm slow. Apart from Clive Owen and Julia Roberts, who both put in stellar performances, it had my two favorite actors in it, the very suave handsome Dunhill ambassador Jude Law and my Articulate Androgynous Amidala, Natalie Portman. Plus I simply love Damien Rice's soulfully melancholic rendition of The Blower's Daughter which is used in both the opening and ending credits.
If I had to summarise the show in 3 words, it would be Emotional Love Quadrangle. Oversimplification but I think it would suffice for this early Thursday morning when I have to be up for work in 4.5 hours.
In a scene from the show, Jude tells Julia,
Try lying for a change, its the currency of the world.
And it struck me why sometimes, I am emotionally poor.
Sigh..the lessons I pick up from a show where Natalie is half naked most of the time...
7.8/10
