Review of Closer (2004) by Sarah E — 24 Jan 2011
This movie actually is one small circle of fuck. For real. Four strangers are brought together and torn apart by fucking, the act of which is only ever described on-screen in dialogue that's damn near impossible to describe.
To call it beautiful is a misrepresentation. Talking about love is beautiful; talking about sex is bitter, raw, and vulgar. It disrupts, clouds the atmosphere, and unsettles an audience. I was mesmerized though, because Closer stars four very talented actors who make this dialogue work exactly the way it was intended.
Brilliant stuff.
