MCN columnist David Poland's recent
MCN columnist David Poland's recent take on the presumed potency of Mike Nichols' potentially Oscar-worthy Closer (Columbia, 12.3) has been, I have to admit, one of his more astute calls. The fact that it's said to play "a little cold" is an indication, he believes, that producers of other presumed Oscar-calibre films are a bit scared of it. "When people start lining up to smear a film this early, that film has some power," he wrote earlier this week. "And that is why bad buzz can be a good sign." My own view is that the Patrick Marber play it's based upon is a little bit cold (i.e., it reads that way), but it's also a devastating, well-cut diamond. The Godfather, Part II is a little bit cold also, but if Francis Coppola had warmed it up he would have totally screwed it up.
