The Closer

Director/Producer

Based on the acclaimed broadway play, “Wheel Barrel Closers,” Chester Grant, Danny Aiello, is forced to retire. He invites two salesman, played by Michael Pare and Joe Cortese to his house for Thanksgiving dinner to interview them so that he can pick his succesor. His wife and his daughter, Justine Bateman, can’t stand him as he has never known his family. This film is gracefully directed by Dimitri Logothetis and is very interesting to watch. He honors stylistically Twelve Angry Men, and Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront with a film noire look Logothetis brings to the piece.
