CLOSER (UMD Video)(Japan Version) UMD, DVD Region 2, PSP

"If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking."

Adapted from Patrick Marber's acclaimed play, Closer is an emotionally taxing, beautifully provocative, and scathingly realistic portrait of modern relationships. With contemporary London as background, the tangled love story follows two couples caught in a self-destructive cycle of infatuation and deception. Directed by Mike Nichols (Working Girl), the film finds pitch-perfect chemistry in its electric casting of Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen.

Aspiring novelist Dan (Jude Law) makes a living writing obituaries, and not very good ones at that. He finds both love and muse in Alice (Natalie Portman), a sprightly American runaway and exotic dancer who wears her love on her sleeve. One year later, Dan meets photographer and recent divorcee Anna (Julia Roberts), who gives him the cold shoulder. As retaliation, Dan sets her up with self-assured, sex-obsessed dermatologist Larry (Clive Owen). The two unexpectedly hit it off and eventually get married, only for Dan and Anna to fall into an affair. Inextricably and obstinately bound to each other, the four become obsessed with loving and hurting each other in a relentless game of hot and cold, love and hate, truth and lies. The closer they are, the less they know, the more they hurt.
