yesterday peter and i went to see closer. originally i really didn't want to see this, but then one of my colleagues called it verbally filthy, so that intriqued me. needless to say i didn't find it that filthy, and didn't care for the film. i just didn't care about any of the characters. i liked the way some of the shots looked - specifically the colour. but the characters? they bored me for the most part. there's a scene that takes place in a strip club where you can hear the smiths' how soon is now? playing. in exotica they stripped to leonard cohen but somehow the smiths as background music in a strip club seems even odder.
