...Something similar happens at the start of "Closer," the funny, hurtful, splendidly acted new film written by Patrick Marber and directed by Mike Nichols. The movie's Dan (Jude Law) has better luck than my friend Steve; fates conspire to put a beautiful stranger in his arms on a London street. He's been stalking, or just appreciatively lurking after, young Alice (Natalie Portman), who's clearly aware of her seductive appeal. Suddenly, she gets hit by a vehicle. Solicitous Dan leaps into action and Galahads her into a cab. (Man, the indefatigable pursuer!) They've just...

...intimate film about the lives of a small cast of characters, this simple masterpiece by director Mike Leigh manages to be at once philosophically expansive and physically claustrophobic. Personalities too large for their surroundings compound the effect of poverty on spaciousness—there is merely too little room to accommodate everyone, their needs for privacy and their individual desires. Imelda Staunton gives a tight performance as the title character, a mid-century London mother who tests light bulbs in a factory and keeps house for the wealthy to provide for her children and aged mother. In her spare time...
