Closer - El Dingo - 02-13-2006

Dee Dee rents anything with Jude Law or Hugh Grant in it.

I'm not sure if she wants a divorce or is secretly a sadistic dominatrix.

Anyway, this film is based on a play (rarely a good sign) about 4 unlikeable people who betray each other and then wallow in their remorse/smugness while bantering endlessly about truth/sex/bitterness ad nauseum.

Usually I enjoy these anti-date movies ('In the Company of Men' and 'Happiness' come to mind), but this one was filled with so much smarmy self-indulgence that I wanted everyone to die 30 minutes into the film.

Guess I'll go watch 'Requiem for a Dream' to cheer myself up.
