Close My Eyes is a mild and genteel examination of sibling incest amid the London yuppie set and against the backdrop of riverside redevelopment along the Thames. Natalie Gillespie (Saskia Reeves) is an unhappy woman of working class roots. We know this from a quick moving opening sequence of brief scenes that covers five years of her dissatisfied love relationships whining to her ambitious sexy brother, Richard, who she is distanced in age and personality. Richard Gillespie (Clive Owens), is a studly young architect, outgoing unlike his sullen sister, and able to successfully pursue his intellectual and creative pursuits. After a shared late night kiss, reality was quickly passed over as simply cuddling until Natalie rekindles her relationship with the long absent brother dearest. Again bored, and with a new husband, Sinclair Bryant (Alan Rickman), a financial wiz who is pompous, condescending of his wife, and wealthy from family money, Natalie and Richard cross the line of social taboos with a torrid sexual affair. Richard's distraction with his sister becomes obsession while she is simply using him for excitement against a vacuous social schedule with unsuspecting Sinclair. The danger of forbidden fruit and illegal sexual thrill drives the couple to meet under the nose of Natalie's cuckold husband. Inept Sinclair is faithful to his wife and his work routine. A chatterbox of politeness, Sinclair's privileged upbring, beautiful homes, and class distance him from Natalie's insecurities. To make up for her shortcomings, she manipulates the game through her little brother, whose confidence is eroding under the spell of his sister's vacillation and sexual control. Superior performances by Alan Rickman (Truly, Deeply, Madly; An Awfully Big Adventure) in easily one of his most sympathetic roles grounds the erotic performance of Clive Owen (Closer, Croupier), who is naked for extensive portions of the movie. They surround Saskia Reeve's performance with sufficient testosterone to overshadow the shortcomings of the secondary story line of Richard's boss who is dying of AIDS. Although meant to have social relevance, incest and AIDS seem an unlikely pairing. Perhaps it is the notion of the unspoken pariah status of its victims, or the rightness or wrongness of the sibling's actions that is never examined in depth which makes the film unsuccessful and somewhat dated. It is a weakness surrounding what motivates Natalie's disenchantment with her perfect situation, or why Richard is so drawn to his older sister that the audience is left to ponder. Unlike a Tennessee Williams story of forbidden excesses, Close My Eyes becomes an exercise in the boredom of river front living by a menage of shallow characters.

One can view the brilliant and overlooked "Close My Eyes" on a number of levels. One could look at it as the story of an incestuous affair, the pain and despair of unquenched passion, the shattering of taboos, or the story of an unfulfilled woman searching for something about which to be passionate. Each level enriches and deepens the message of the other and creates a thought-provoking film of fiery intensity. The film is a study in contrasts and opposing forces: Alan Rickman's controlled, restrained performance is in total contrast to the fiery passion of the two lovers and the film's direct confrontation with taboos (incest, AIDS, open passion itself)slams against polite society's prevailing opinions. The film dares us to face what is difficult and deal with it in an open and honest way no matter what the consequences, no matter what anyone thinks. The film's solemn conclusion makes clear, however, that this shattering of taboos (what we are not supposed to openly discuss) is no easy accomplishment and involves the possibility of a breakdown in society or "the end of the world." But, the risk is worth it so that nothing is left hidden, so that all is out in the open, on the table, for discussion and acceptance. "Close My Eyes" is a powerhouse of passionate, riveting acting, Merchant and Ivory like cinematography, and incisive, perceptive writing.

Ok, first let me say, the reason I bought this movie was because I have come to really like Clive Owen. The first I saw him in was the BMW 'shorts' on the internet as 'The Driver'. Then in The Bourne Idenity in a small role as an assassin who was trying kill pumpkinheaded uber assassin Matt Damon. Then I saw Closer and The Inside Man and really enjoyed him in both of these movies. So, I decided to look up some of his other work. I came across Close My Eyes. I also like Allen Rickman so I thought I would check it out. It started out pretty cut and dry, I thought. I mean here is womanizing Clive comforting his 'female friend' who is depressed from being jilted. He tries to cheer her up and I am thinking "ok, now they are going to realize that they are made for each other." Well, they share a passionate kiss and then.... "I'm sorry. You're my kid brother..." WHAT THE ****?!!! Ok, so now I am passed the shock and this movie goes from year to year or several years of the brother and sister and their 'relationship'. Allen Rickman is the man she falls in love with and eventually marries. It is certainly a tangled web and a strage story. I thought it was ok but it was... just an ok movie with a weird twist.

This was kind of a pricey DVD for its vintage. Young Clive Owen and Alan Rickman doing what they do so well. I wasn't familiar with the female lead. They certainly did a good job acting, and it even has the rarely filmed clothes-less male body. I bought this because I wanted to see old Alan Rickman movies. I really didn't pay attention to the other actors or subject matter when I ordered it. It's a good thing I'm not a flinchy old lady. The scenes and scenery are beautiful and can be distracting, which is probably a good thing because incest is not pretty, nor is it acceptable in our society. Have to admit I did admonish them out loud several times while watching movie. They failed to heed my warnings and spun out of control. These are good actors, but know you will see male nudity (Yaaaay!) and sister and brother roles in full-on sexual intimacy (Boooo!) and melt-downs. The Alan Rickman role was particularly mature in judgement of what has occurred. I'd watch anything with him and probably with Clive Owen too. Clive really did good work at a young age.

I watched this with a strange fascination, unable to turn away but sure wanting to. I never would have seen it if it didn't have Clive Owen in it, but I really think Saskia Reeves was great too, and would love to see more of her work. I feel that Natalie (Reeves) was an unhappy person in general and her brother happened to be handy and easily manipulated into their affair. When she decides to move on Richard (Owen) is having none of it. Sinclair (Alan Rickman) is oblivious at first, but comes across quite ominus when he becomes aware what is going on. Due to the content it is DEFINITELY not recommended for kids, but if you can remember it's only a movie and they are not real brother and sister, it's a really good movie.

I love it because I love Saskia Reeves with the added bonus that she is a lot younger than what I've seen of her recently (In "Page 8" for example). I enjoy her incestuous behavior with her brother and her husband's demeanor through all this. The rape scene of her in a lovely red gown taking place on the surface of a country road in the path of an onrushing truck is especially exciting. Her supporting cast members are two of the great contemporary male actors and the plot is simple; sex-crazed brother and sister try to extend their love affair beyond her marriage but are have difficulty in doing so. If you like illicit sex, you will enjoy this film, I did; but in a honest effort to understand women more.

I bought this DVD in early spring of '05 and 'loaned' it to a 'friend' living in Arizona late summer of '06 along with three other Alan Rickman titles. I have never had them returned. For months she would make up crazy excuses at to why she couldn't send them back to me, blameing others for her suposed difficulty. The title soon was discontinued and the price of replacement went through the roof. I have not been able to replace it nor the other AR movies that I sent to her. I have since seen this title for sale from sellers for exorbitant prices from Arizona and wondered if they weren't mine. Sinclair has always been my favorite of the Alan Rickman characters and losing my DVD's along with the trust of what was once a trusted friend whom I offered my home to in her time of crisis has been very painful for me.

I like all the actors, the subject matter may be hard for some because a brother and sister fall in love, but it was still done tastefully.
