i finally watched Closer with the purpleman last night, despite warnings that it wasn't a "date movie". i don't regret having gone to see it, but i can't say i liked it... it just had a nasty aftertaste that i'm still trying to figure out.
the story evolved around four characters and their sexual and emotional manipulations of each other. the dialogue was emotional and intense, yet i didn't find it very engaging because all the characters were so unlikeable and obsessed about sex and revenge in ways i found pretty shallow.
still, we are having fun coming up with a cast for our own imaginary production of Closer.
