One couple seesawing between love and indifference, togetherness and separation, the callow actions of one bring another in to the equation and soon there are four. The one who controlled the situation gradually becomes cuckold to the guest he unwittingly invited and as the tables turn so the transient and compromised nature of love makes its tenuous nature clearer. Closer is Mike Nichols adaptation of Patrick Marber's acclaimed play and a sophisticatedly brutal thing it is too; nicely acted but

Ford plays a sexually ambiguous and misogynist drifter who gets adopted by a German casino owner in Buenos Aires only to get involved in a menage-a-trois with his wife. Never has the fear of the female been so intense as in this powerful piece of cinema. Hayworth is sizzling as the temptress.

China in the turmoil of Japanese occupation is the evocative setting for this unusual and visually stunning tale. Recruited before she is truly aware of her purpose, a young woman is groomed to become an irresistible siren, an icon of contemporary eroticism to ensnare a collaborator who has wreaked havoc amongst her people. Ang Lee's stunning follow up to "Broke Back Mountain" is in essence a thriller but as with all his films it is the richness and depth of the characters that really drive the

Undoubtedly one of Hitch's best. An innocent businessman is mistaken for a spy by enemy agents and learns the true meaning of persecution, while a deceptively beautiful blonde in the pay of his tormentors steals his heart. A tense and compulsively gripping nice-guy's nightmare. Obligatory viewing.

A truly remarkable adaptation of Woolf's novel. Tilda Swanton is enthralling as the androgenous and ageless Orlando seeking love in a 400 year odyssey; from the finery of Elizabeth the First's court, through the Civil War, the early colonial period, the literary salons of 1750, by which time Orlando is a woman, the Victorian era of property, and finally to the present day. Potter's direction adds a marvellous period feel. Superb, this is a magical story .

A quirky, clever and charming movie from rookie director Anderson, who flies in the face of convention by making the hero of this high school-based comedy a slightly geeky academic who's anything but the all-American kid. Max Fischer is a brilliant but mixed-up scholarship kid at the Rushmore Academy, with a frenzied timetable and an uncanny knack of baffling both students and teachers alike. He attracts the attention of Blume (the superb Bill Murray), a rich, bored, middle-aged parent, apparen
