I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This cheapie adult film is in effect a silent film, shot without sound, upon which voice-over narration and musical score have been added. It is of the style that was in vogue between 1968 and 1972, which is full female nudity, partial male nudity, and simulated sex scenes. Twitching and thrashing, huffing and puffing, mock lesbianism, this is soft core cheese. Fans of Uschi Digard will not be disappointed as the entire film consists of her, a phony-name actress, and two anonymous dudes.This film is now available on DVD, but the celluloid print from which the transfer has been made was corrupted by mold and fungus, leaving flashing red spots throughout the presentation, in addition to running scratches and other visual artifacts that are so common to films treated carelessly in projection and storage. The film degrades noticeably at the end of each 20-minute reel where it was fed by a projectionist with dirty hands soiled with substances one might not wish to consider. Somewhere along the line the third reel was fed incorrectly, and between the 40 and 44 minute mark there are bright yellow gouges where the celluloid was punctured by the teeth of the feed or take-up sprocket.
