I looked for somewhere creative to work, trendy, and see what happens, I feel like I'm 150 and six years old. My boss is terrified I'm going backwards. The things I do for you, I can't believe it! You appear out of nowhere, use my flat as a hotel, I hardly see you. one morning it would be gone, this feeling, and never come back.Ī buyer for that bloody awful store? You wanted to be artistic.Īnd you haven't made me feel better, so don't look so smug. You can judge a town by what's in these tomatoes. You should always look in these wherever you go. Now Mum and Dad are both gone, you're the only person I can tell. you buy a flat with your lover and then he leaves you within two months. You can't even go down the street without one. There's nowhere to go round here on a Sunday.Ĭome on, Natalie, there's no need to overdo it. Come on, I'm going to get you out of here. I've been waiting here for the last six hours just to hear you say that. Is this what you used to get up to with him every night? What are all these candles for anyway? It's spooky. My vote is six.Trains on Sunday, you know what they're like. This film was released in Brazil on VHS by Globo Vídeo distributor. The always excellent Alan Rickman is the stereotype of the British gentleman and Clive Owen in the beginning of his career successfully completes the triangle of lovers. The unusual triangle of love is supported by the gorgeous Saskia Reeves that has a great performance in a bold role. "Close My Eyes" is a powerful drama about the obsessive incestuous love of two siblings. Meanwhile, Sinclair distrusts Natalie and believes she has a lover. However, Richard becomes obsessed by his sister and addicted to have sex with her. Years later, Natalie gets married to the wealthy Sinclair (Alan Rickman) and in the boredom of her marriage, she has a love affair with her brother. In England, the siblings Natalie (Saskia Reeves) and Richard (Clive Owen) every now and then are together, and Natalie usually opens her heart to her brother.

And for a movie to waste Alan Rickman in an entirely boring and superfluous supporting role is something of a travesty. You finish the film thinking 'Oh, was that it?' instead of being wowed by what you've just watched. I spent the whole of this lengthy, slow-paced film waiting for an explosive denouement, and while there are some decent bits at the climax, it never pays off. The characters are also a mystery Reeves fails to elicit much sympathy at any point, while Owen's bullish stalker comes across as more of an obsessive villain than anything else. In fact, it's a film in which nothing much really happens, despite the dramatic potential.Ĭlive Owen and Saskia Reeves both work hard to convey sympathy as the siblings caught up in a living nightmare, but director Poliakoff shoots the whole film as a romance when in reality a more horrific approach might have worked. It should be brilliant: the central concept of the incestuous relationship should be harrowing, horrifying, devastating in equal measure, but the film never fully explores the consequences of the brother/sister pairing.

Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 6 / 10 A waste of dramatic potentialĪ bit of a strange film, this one. As the guilt and intensity of the siblings increases we seem to be heading for disaster, especially when Natalie's husband Sinclair finds out. Their private intensity (& working class origins) contrast with the middle-class, inhibited, stuffy public scenes we see in the Richmond world into which Natalie has moved with her marriage. The relationship between Richard and Natalie proves dangerously obsessional. After some years of tension, Richard begins a sexual relationship with his sister Natalie, who is now married.
