Review of The Closet

The Closet (2001)
7/10
or of the Relativeness of Life
5 March 2002
It is a very pleasant movie showing in a Pirandellian way how life changes if we only change the perspective from which we observe it.

The plot is very simple: a man risks to loose his job, pretends to be gay just in order to avoid it, his life changes when everybody believes him a gay. Why? He has not changed, his attitude towards life is not changed, what has happened?

The point of view has changed and people look at him in different way, possibly understand him or listen to him. He himself has changed: looks at his life in a different way, understands thinks that before he had not considered (the relationship with his ex wife, for example. As a matter of fact this new 'perspective' allows him to find himself and to behaviour in a way more proximate to his real personality.
