Corrected entry: When Julia Roberts character is taking pictures of Natalie Portman you notice that there isn't any studio lighting (i.e. flash) to light the photo. First, any professional photographer taking a portrait needs some kind of lighting in the studio. Second, when we see the photo of Natalie in the gallery at the opening, you can see two white spots in Natalie's eyes, which shows that a flash was used in taking the picture.

Correction: Not true, the windows in the studio that Anna was using would allow ample light, if you recall they weren't using lights when she was taking the portraits of Daniel either. Natural light gives a much nicer more natural looking portrait. As for the lights in Alice's eyes, they also could have been from the windows.

Corrected entry: In the hospital, Natalie Portman would have had to given her name so she could be called in. However Jude Law was with her all the time and he doesn't find out her name until they were walking through the memorial gardens (when she gives the fake name).

Correction: She could have easily spoke with the triage nurse in private (which is routine in any hospital I've been to). When she was ready to be seen, the triage nurse could have just motioned to her, or gone up to her and said something like "You can be seen now."

Correction: It IS her left leg that was bleeding - Dan was putting her left leg onto the chair.

Factual error: When Julia Roberts takes a photo of Natalie Portman crying she uses a 35mm camera. The final photo in the gallery is from a Hasselblad type camera shooting a square format. All the prints show the full negative and the outside area of the negative. Also when she uses the 35mm camera sometimes she advances the film manually and sometimes you hear a motor drive. It would be either one or the other. Last she doesn't focus the lens when she takes a picture.

Alice: Lying's the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off - but it's better if you do.

More quotes from Closer

Answer: I think it was because of the offer that Larry made to Anna. He promised that if they had sex one more time, he would leave her alone and never contact her again. The fact that he was willing to give her freedom, is what made her choose him. Dan was more "needy" and pushy, which is hypocritical, because he left Alice based on her being needy.

Dan left Anna after confronting her about sleeping with Larry for the divorce papers. Anna begged Dan to not stop loving her, to not leave her. Looks like Dan could not stand Anna after she slept with Larry so she went back to Larry since she never turned in the divorce papers.

But after the incident, Dan went to Larry's office and begged him to "let" Anna return to him.

Answer: Because Larry loved her and she was a narcissistic object for Dan.

Chosen answer: Guilt. Dan tells Larry so when he confronts him in his office.
