DVD Reviews of Close My Eyes
DVD Review: Two movies in one
Summary: 4 Stars
Very compelling if not entirely convincing. One thread running through this film is a metaphorical mumble on the classical versus the modern, but I think the three main characters are sketched a little too lightly to support the director's weighty intentions. The result plays rather like two different movies running simultaneously. But this work is definitely worth a couple of hours of your time. Saskia Reeves is just dazzling as the bossy sister who's as much prey to her own impulses as is her weak younger brother. Pay very close attention to the opening few seconds in which we see a group of old people (the classical) and a group of punk rockers (the modern), with a bossy little girl connecting the two groups. The whole movie is summarized in this one short scene. Director Poliakoff does have a vision, even if it was perhaps a little blurred when he tried to marry the movie's two main themes. I watch this film occasionally to see the excellent work by Reeves, Owen and Rickman, and for the early 1990s London I lived in when this unique movie was made.DVD Review: $250 for a used DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
I would love to see this film as I am a big fan of Mr. Owen's work, but $250 for a used video? That's absurd, even if it is out of print. Scalpers got hold of that one. No wonder people turn into cyber pirates. I hope no one buys it, which would be even more absurd than the price. DVD Review: not much to see here
Summary: 2 Stars
With the notable exception of frontal nudity from Clive Owen, this movie doesn't have much going for it. Alan Rickman's part is small, not to mention the fact that his performances in other films are far superior to this one. Even for a seasoned Rickman fan, this movie holds very little entertainment.DVD Review: Interesting and taboo
Summary: 4 Stars
Very interesting film on a taboo topic. Intense and well acted.DVD Review: DISTURBING MOVIE ... BUT EXCELLENT
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie, because of the subject matter, was done very well, and I really got wrapped up into it. I thought it was very good and am glad I got it for my movie library.
