Close My Eyes (film)

Close My Eyes is a 1991 film written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff and starring Alan Rickman, Clive Owen and Saskia Reeves as well as Lesley Sharp and Karl Johnson.

In 1985, town planning student Richard Gillespie visits his older sister Natalie, with whom he is not very close since they grew up separately.

She is depressed, and Richard's attempts to lighten the mood are ended when Natalie pulls him into a passionate embrace, kissing him on the lips.

Six years pass, during which Richard achieves success while Natalie's career stagnates; she marries a powerful and rich stock analyst named Sinclair Bryant.

[citation needed] The grand party that is the stage for the film's climax was shot at Polesden Lacey in Bookham, Surrey.

The film was originally released on VHS video by Artificial Eye and is available on DVD in the UK and the US on the Cinemaclub label.
