Close your eyes?

Feb 25, 2006 03:25

I wasn't going to write anything about Close My Eyes (which I rented in my Rickman retro), but then I realised that it's actually on tomorrow (Sunday) in the BBC4 Stephen Poliakoff season (aka puff for his latest, Gideon's Daughter, also on Sunday). ( Brief rant under the cut )

film, review

Funnily enough I was just thinking about Close My Eyes... I seem to remember I rather enjoyed it, but I think that's partly because I have a slight thing about incest, and mainly because Alan Rickman was so hot. Oh, and I like Polesden Lacey, where they had the fight scene.

I get the impression from skimming online comments that the incest is meant to be this big squicky thing handled sensitively -- which, coming at it from the perspective of a fanfiction reader, just doesn't scan.

Polesden Lacey was indeed very pretty; the thing I liked best (apart from all the Rickman scenes) was the golden sunshine, but that's largely because 1990 is one of the few years with sunny personal memories.

Have to say I'd rather have Rickman as my brother than Owen.

The actors or the characters?

Re: Er, spoiler kalypso_v February 25 2006, 13:26:31 UTC

I don't really know Mr Rickman or Mr Owen well enough to judge fairly on that, so I'd better say the characters.

Must dash, train to catch.

I've met few, but I suspect even the smoulderiest actors would be a bugger to get along with. (Have a safe trip.)
