The greatest movie ever made..!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

But sometimes the phrase is used to mean country women. I don't know, je ne comprende pas Francaise, nor did I understand what the words in this made-possible-by-a-grant-from-someone mid-seventies art flick. But I do believe I caught what it was saying anyway. Flicking channels I bumped into it. mesmerized, but too tired to stay up and watch I decided I would look for it on line, or in a video store or something. Ha! I had to stay awake and watch the whole thing, I knew I'd never see it again. Life's like that.Sometimes something just catches you. Noticing the phosphorescence on a dark ocean, when you just can't believe the girl asleep beside you, finding an old picture that makes you smile and feel sad at the same time, walking home with the robins starting up, you know, things that creep up on you, make life worth it after all. Hard to imagine anyone will be reading these words, wouldn't be the first time IMDb's been a personal journal for me, but to those who made this, Merci.
