## Description

For the first time ever on DVD, Close My Eyes is a film by prolific director Stephen Poliakoff, featuring the exceptional talents of Alan Rickman (Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban) and Clive Owen (Gosford Park, King Arthur). Children of a broken marriage, grown up apart and hardly knowing each other - Richard (Clive Owen) is a slick, successful and promiscuous young architect whilst Natalie (Saskia Reeves) is lost, low on self esteem and lonely. After a long absence their reunion ends with a kiss. But not the sort for brothers and sisters. As time moves on the roles are reversed as Natalie marries Sinclair (Alan Rickman), an incredibly wealthy and eccentric man who languishes in the home countries. Whilst Richard on the other hand ditches the life of the London high flier and focuses on finding meaning to his life. Over an incredibly hot summer they come together and find themselves falling into an illicit affair, trying hard not to hurt everyone around them but at the same time failing to stay apart...

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A traditional love triangle
*by S***N on 30 November 2016*

Written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff. A traditional triangle one woman and two men. I bought it for the rather beautiful Alan Rickman - and he is very beautiful in this film and also the rather hunky Clive Owen. We see some lovely naked shots of him. Saskia Reeves is the woman who can't handle two men - I've see this in real life. A rather grubby story really interestingly shot. within the framework of a succession of very wide shots of beautiful interiors and exteriors. The sun is always shining and everyone else in the story accepts their lovely outdoor summer life style which also adds contrast to the angst the central characters are going through. Very cleverly done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Family Affair
*by J***) on 15 November 2019*

Apart from a overdramatic bit towards the end this is typical Stephen Poliakoff which is really good because the story could have ended up being excruciating if in the wrong hands. There is plenty of scope for shock, horror, cheap thrills in a film about incest however Poliakoff keeps it interesting without the tasteless use of any of those things. Instead he draws out the characters the characters by sgooting scene's beautifully even the sex and nudity.It is, obviously, the characters that propel such as story and all the main characters are kept real by the writing and of course, the actors who fill their roles perfectly. I have never really been a fan of Rickman or Reeves but he downplays his role expertly and she adds just enough mystery regarding her motives and true feelings without Natalie becoming stereotyped or unreal. Clive Owen does what Clive Owen normally does but like Rickman doesn't overplay his had.A believable film that never loses sight of being a love story despite the nature of that love.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Close My Eyes
*by M***T on 17 December 2015*

Close My Eyes is a 1991 film about Natalie (Saskia Reeves) who slowly starts to fall in love with Richard Gillespie (Clive Owen) who is in-fact her Younger Brother.Natalie has recently bought a fairly noisy apartment with her lover only to have him leave her within just a few weeks, she also hates her job & is very unhappy, it's at this moment she first kisses her brother Richard.Over the space of the movie we watch how both the brother and sister deal with the feelings for each other, and see what goes on when Natalie's husband starts to think she is having an affair.All in all it's a really great film and i really did enjoy it, will be watching again I'm sure.
