An important role of Natalie Portman is coming to Netflix
Almost 19 years have passed since that day Netflix has added to his film catalog one of the finest roles in Natalie Portman. The actress has an impressive filmography and many feature films could be presented this way. But this has a special flavor for the actress since it allowed her to get her first Oscar nomination and win her first Golden Globe in the Best Supporting Actress category. So we’re obviously talking about Closer, between consenting adultsreleased in French cinemas on 19 January 2005.
Directed by Mike NicholsThe film presents couples who make mistakes, separating and missing each other. It concerns Larry (Clive Owen), a doctor in a relationship with a photographer named Anna (Julia Roberts). The latter will simultaneously have a relationship with Dan (Jude Law), a writer. But after witnessing an accident (see video below), she attracts the attention of Alice (Natalie Portman), a stripper who, despite her feelings for Dan, will also have an affair with Larry.
It is therefore a real crossover for the protagonists that Mike Nichols presents, based on a screenplay by Patrick Marber based on his play. The director’s tour de force is to fascinate us with characters who can be unlikable because they are too focused on themselves. But as he wrote Telerama“By accentuating the clichés and stereotypes of these modern and dangerous relationships, Mike Nichols has managed to do what he has always known how to do: capture the spirit of the times“. And here’s why, its sublime casting it helps a lot.
The actress’s preparation for Closer
We get involved this romantic film with a fluid staging, at times almost dreamlike, of which the sublime shots can no longer be counted. In it, Natalie Portman leaves a lasting impression. Showing itself attractive and disturbing at the same time, but above all very moving. For the release of the film she was interviewed by Assigned about her work to play this stripper and perform pole dancing scenes.
I took pole dancing lessons! And it’s honestly more complicated than I imagined! (laughs) I really have a lot of respect for the women who do this job, it requires a mixture of strength and grace.
The actress explained that she had left at a strip club in New York For “immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this truly special placeAnd as a woman, her perception of things has changed when talking to girls with different motivations.
Some do it because they love their job, others, most of them, do it because it is the easiest choice to earn money… There were women who, before, worked 20 hours a day as hard work and went home with almost nothing in their pockets to raise their children. And suddenly, by doing striptease, undressing for a few hours, two nights a week, they realize that they can earn a lot more money. It changes a lot of things and shows you the strange way the world works. It’s a very strange universe.
This role in Closer, between consenting adults will remain very important for Natalie Portman. She the actress recently revealed that she really enjoyed working with Mike Nichols. The director would have given it to him valuable adviceboth professionally and personally.
