Reviewed by claudio_carvalho 6 / 10 Obsessive Incestuous Love 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.
While dealing openly with the sexual nature of its story, Close My Eyes also uses incest as a metaphor for moral and political irresponsibility.After some years of tension, Richard begins a sexual relationship with his sister Natalie, who is now married. Natalie realizes that this sort of relationship can't go on and tries to break it off with Richard, but he becomes irrational, attempting suicide and threatening violence. In time, a mutual interest evolves into a full-blown incestuous affair.
One day, Richard meets Natalie and Sinclair over lunch, and Richard finds himself strongly attracted to his sister. Natalie and Richard don't see each other often, and their relationship has long had an odd cast to it, as Natalie often seems to flirt with her brother.
