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 a 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 behavior in a way more proximate to his real personality.
