closer

1)if u love this link; damien rice.

,and 2)you're pretty, 3)single. you can love me too

why i like 'closer';
-issues of strange familiarity e.g; having sex with your previous partner
-peppered with realistic paradoxes e.g; how sex can be both pleasureable and yet, painful.
-great visuals and sound e.g; how the music is parallel to the motions, so fitting, flawless... moves you into it.
-script, witty e.g; "Have you ever seen a human heart? it looks like a fist wrapped in blood."

"closer concerns itself with the fact that, in love, we remember beginnings and endings and tend to edit out the middles. it asks interesting questions like 'how do we really remember things and how does life really look to us?" - Director Mike Nichols

The playwright describes Closer as a 'love story'. "it's about other things of course - sexual jealousy, the male gaze, the lies we tell ourselves and those we are most intimate with, the ways in which people find themselves through using others. but in the end, it's a nice simple love story. and as with most love stories, things go wrong..."
