Movie Reviews of Close My Eyes
Movie Review: Two movies in one
Summary: 4 Stars
Very compelling if not entirely convincing. One thread running through this film is a metaphorical mumble on the classical versus the modern, but I think the three main characters are sketched a little too lightly to support the director's weighty intentions. The result plays rather like two different movies running simultaneously. But this work is definitely worth a couple of hours of your time. Saskia Reeves is just dazzling as the bossy sister who's as much prey to her own impulses as is her weak younger brother. Pay very close attention to the opening few seconds in which we see a group of old people (the classical) and a group of punk rockers (the modern), with a bossy little girl connecting the two groups. The whole movie is summarized in this one short scene. Director Poliakoff does have a vision, even if it was perhaps a little blurred when he tried to marry the movie's two main themes. I watch this film occasionally to see the excellent work by Reeves, Owen and Rickman, and for the early 1990s London I lived in when this unique movie was made.
