Closer

One of the best displays of acting I've ever seen. Unfortunately, the movie is so monumentally depressing that it's hard to have an enjoyable time while watching it. Nevertheless, a powerful drama worth watching. My grade: A-

Synopsis: Set in contemporary London, this is the story of four strangers - their chance meetings, instant attractions and casual betrayals. (via Yahoo)

Director: Mike Nichols (The Graduate)
Writer: Patrick Marber (Asylum)
Stars: Natalie Portman (Garden State), Jude Law (Cold Mountain), Julia Roberts (Erin Brockovich), Clive Owen (Sin City)

Have you seen "Crash"? I actually preferred it to "Closer" though the story is less intimate.

Phenomenal movie. I believe it is more about 4 different perspectives of intimacy rather than adultury. I hate Julia Roberts, but found her arresting in this movie.
