Director Mike Nichols (The Birdcage, Angels in America) brings Patrick Marber’s highly acclaimed theatrical tour de force Closer to the screen. An uncompromisingly honest look at modern relationships, Closer is the story of four strangers (Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen) – their chance meetings, instant attractions and brutal betrayals. Funny, shocking and powerful, Closer is reminiscent of such classic Nichols fare as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Carnal Knowledge.
