Film: Closer (2004)

DVD: Anamorphic
Closer (Superbit Edition)

"You shouldn't smoke."
"Fuck off. "
"I'm a doctor. I'm supposed to say things like that."

Review: This is a well-crafted movie with great writing and acting. It is a cold look at the love, lies and secrets in the inter-relationships between four people over a three year period.

"If you love her you'll let her go so she can be happy."
"She doesn't want to be happy. "
"Everybody wants to be happy."
"Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing. "

"I don't love you anymore. Goodbye."

3 1/2 out of 4 Stars
