I have so many bitter and wonderful memories about this movie. This movie is about understanding our desires in relationships. I read a few reviews saying there were no likable characters in this film, and while I don't think there are any cookie cutter good guys, I don't think that is true.
Spoilers
The movie starts with a romance between Jude Law and Natlie Portman. Its almost purely physical it seems, and after a while because of the lack of tension he finds attraction with Julia Roberts. Because he can't have Julia, because she doesn't want to cheat on Natalie, Jude pretends to be her on a sex chat with Clive Owen, in what may be the performance of his career. He wants to have control over her since he can't exert that in a relationship. He is not being honest with his partner. Taking away control from her for selfish reasons. Julia and Clive really do fall in love and get married, and eventually she runs accross Jude again. They begin an affair and fall in love each dumping their partners. In order to get the divorce from Clive, Julia sleeps with him, and Jude dumps her because he can't take the knowledge and the control taken away from him. Jude eventually wisens up and goes back to face Clive, who tells him there is no way he is getting Julia back, but he knows where Natalie is and he should go back there. But before Jude leaves, he has to exert control, and tells him the reason he knows where she is, is because he slept with her after Julia dumped him. Jude and Natalie get back together, but Natalie denies sleeping with Clive. Time passes and Jude begs for the truth because it is eating him up, and Natalie admits to it, before breaking up with him. That was her control in the relationship, and having to give that up again is too painful, and she leaves. It is revealed ingeniously that she had more control that thought because she did love him, and she had to protect herself, where as she did not with Clive because it was just sex. its about protecting our emotions in an oversexed world. A lot of people don't like Clive and Natalie because they had sex, but they were both single and consenting adults, but Natalie is pure enough to get away. Its about honesty and power games in relationships, and how vulnerable we are willing to be. How well we know people, and how we are different people with different people because we are never ourselves with them. Great film

Third time I have watched this film, and I can honestly say it gets even better with each watch.
The dialogue is tremendous and utterly delicious, the closest thing I can think of to the wonderful repartee of old 1930's comedies, other than David O Russell films. Clive Owen's Dr. Larry is pure savage, probably my favorite character, at once both charming and also controlling, utterly gross and despicable. Although this is billed as a romantic comedy drama, there are some lines that are just doozies and will leave one rolling with laughter. For those who dislike romantic comedies, this film is spicy enough to entertain, and it's not some sopping wet, weepy, crying "I love you" in the rain piece. It's a film for adults and realists and yes, the characters are flawed, make mistakes, hurt one another, and are only clean on the surface.
The screenplay for Closer was written by Patrick Marber, and adapted from his play. This film centers around four main characters, and we see these characters' lives intertwine as they navigate an emotional roller coaster of desire and deceit.
I feel this film is authentic and the characters are complicated, flawed and believable. They each lead intense emotional lives and have their own reasons for doing what they do. Fear of being hurt, using control, lies and manipulation as a form of leverage to protect oneself emotionally, etc. The film title Closer implies coming together or being near, but each time one of the characters comes closer to the truth or to another character, the further the separation. Also the juxtaposition of being in a relationship with someone, being "close" but being a stranger to that person. I could go on, as there are many subtle nuances to this film and many layers to unwrap. Overall, however, if you want to just watch an entertaining film and not delve into the psychological aspects, it's a great character-driven film with a fantastic cast giving superb performances and really doing the screenplay justice.

La película es muy buena, la calidad de sonido es buena y viene con contenido adicional que no es nada del otro mundo pero siempre se agradece. Un poco mas de lo que esperaba a un buen precio.
