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.

More quotes from Closer

Question: How did Larry find out what club Alice/Jane works at? Did he just find her there by coincidence?

Answer: It appears so. Nothing else suggested he knew where she worked. More that he was just going to different clubs and drinking and came across the club Alice was working at.

I think he knew exactly where to find her. He's a doctor and often doctors are known to have that "God" complex. I think he wanted to gain control of his relationship with Anna. To win Anna back he had to manipulate all the players including Alice/ Jane. He probably researched her and found her. That's why he knew Alice/Jane was not her real name. He was low key stalking all of them, to get Anna back.

But Jane actually was Alice's legal name. This is shown at the end of the movie, on her ID. Larry did not believe her when she told him.

At the strip club, Larry does *not* know that her name is legally Jane. He thinks her name is Alice. She is using a stage name at the club, and he wants to hear her say that her name is Alice. He refuses to accept "Jane" as the answer. He is waiting to hear "Alice."

Answer: Dan wrote the address on his prescription pad and passed it to Larry.

I think you've got it the other way around. Larry found Alice in the strip club, and he gave Dan the address on the prescription pad.
