Mike Nichols Marathon 19 - Closer
About this episode
The episode discusses Mike Nichols' film 'Closer' and its exploration of relationship dysfunctions and adaptations from stage to screen.
In this penultimate episode of our now long-running Mike Nichols Marathon, we are touching base with Closer . Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Mike Nichols revisiting his dramatic comfort zone and rediscovering the same energy that led him to direct Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Carnal Knowledge , a handful of substantial changes the movie made to Patrick Marber's play and the movie becoming a celebration of stage work captured on film. We also discuss the film's central conceit as an exploration of a variety of relationship dysfunctions, the movie as a protoplast to Inside Out and much more! Tune in and enjoy!
