What the hell is Closer about? I saw the trailer for it yesterday, and it confused the hell out of me.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Uh, two couples?
But actually: Jude Law and Clive Owen, doing stuff. And possibly some other people.

It's all about the pretty, and Julia Roberts is in it too.

Okay, that was the impression I was left with. I just wondered if there was something else going on, other than some laughing in the face of monogamy and Jude Law hitting Natalie Portman with a car.
I also saw the trailer for "Code 46," which looks freaky and yet intriguing.
And the trailer for a Ramones movie whose title I can't remember, and "Riding Giants," a surfing movie about the pioneers of surfing, who are compared to astronauts.

Really, all I know is what I got from the trailer.

Setting aside my bitterness that the movie release caused the rights for the play to be pulled from me - Closer is basically the interactions of four people who are deeply fucked in the head and who like fucking each other, both in bed and emotionally. It is a fantastically gritty and emotional play when it's done right. I have no faith that either of the women will be able to pull it off. Jude can do shallow and monumentally self-serving, which is what his character is. I have no opinion on Clive Owen, as I haven't seen him in much.
This may be a stupid question, but wasn't there a musical called "Closer" a few years ago? (I remember reading that it was almost all dance, but not much else.) I thought the movie was based on that until I saw the trailers.

This is based on a stage play, but I don't think there was dance involved. (Which Juliana describes.)
Clive Owen originated the part that Jude Law plays in the movie.
