Patrick Marber's acclaimed stage
drama about the romantic interactions of four people has been given a reverent screen adaptation by director and producer
Mike Nichols.
Dan (
Jude Law) is a writer in London who wants to finish a novel, but in the meantime supports himself by writing obituaries. One day he chances upon
Alice (
Natalie Portman), a beautiful young American expatriate, working as a stripper, when he sees her get hit by a car.
Alice immediately falls for
Dan, and gives him her love without reservation.
Dan is initially enchanted with
Alice, and returns her affection, but while she inspires him to write his novel (based on her life), her neediness begins to wear on him.
Anna (
Julia Roberts) is a photographer who is hired to take a portrait of
Dan for the dust jacket of his book;
Dan is attracted to her easy confidence, and while the two of them flirt,
Anna soon (inadvertently through
Dan's playful machinations) meets
Larry (
Clive Owen), a dermatologist, and marries him.
Dan can't get
Anna out of his mind even though she's married, and the two become lovers, but
Dan is frustrated by the fact that
Anna is reluctant to leave
Larry for him.
Patrick Marber wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of
Closer; it was the playwright's first feature-film credit.
