Close My Eyes

"Close My Eyes" (1991) is a British drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff. Richard and his sister Natalie haven't seen each other in years — she married Sinclair, comfortable and attentive; Richard stayed in London, restless and unrooted. When they meet again the old distance collapses fast.

The affair develops in secret, but Sinclair — Alan Rickman, controlled and alert — is harder to fool than he appears. Clive Owen plays Richard as someone who follows an impulse he can neither justify nor resist. It's a film that refuses to explain or condemn its characters, which makes it colder and more interesting than the premise suggests. Stream "Close My Eyes" (1991) on iFILM.
