Listen "Closer"
Episode Synopsis
"I can't take my EYYYESSSS off of YOUUUUU." Okay, go off Damien Rice.
We're taking it back to the year 2004 this week. Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen star in Mike Nichols' four-hander romantic drama Closer. It's very much an adaptation of a stage play, so we discuss the four actors' criss-cross dynamics, the Jude Law fever that hit American in Autumn 2004, and how Julia Roberts was such a massive star even a dull chamber drama like this could make $116m with her face on the poster.
