Closer (Bliżej) *****
„Closer” - film Mike’a Nicholsa (tego od Absolwenta), jest tym, co tygrysy lubią bardzo, być może dlatego, że tygrysy lubią teatr. Jest to typowy film bez bajerów ale za to o czymś - fascynuje mnie w nim budowanie akcji i dramatyzmu właściwie z niczego.W filmie grają świetni aktorzy (Oskar za rolę drugoplanową) "wyposażeni" w równie dobre dialogi (ze sztuki o tej samej nazwie) a niebanalny temat - "Jak się zadręczyć bez powodu, ale za to skutecznie" - poruszony jest nie tylko ciekawie ale i dogłębnie. Do tego doskonała muzyka ... a Julia Roberts robi zdjęcia. Co więcej trzeba?
