Scenes of a Sexual Nature/Cruel Intentions/Closer

Trio of relationship dramas. In 'Scenes of a Sexual Nature' (2006), various couples discuss their romantic and erotic tribulations on a sunny afternoon on Hampstead Heath.

Julia (Gina McKee) and Gerry (Hugh Bonneville) are on a blind date, but don't seem to be enjoying one another's company.

Billy (Ewan McGregor) and Brian (Douglas Hodge) are a gay couple at a crossroads.

Iris (Eileen Atkins) and Eddie (Benjamin Whitrow) were together many years ago, but aren't sure what to make of one another when they meet by chance in the park.

Sara (Catherine Tate) and Pete (Adrian Lester) discover how much they care for one another just as they're on the verge of divorce.

Jamie (Andrew Lincoln) finds he has some explaining to do when his wife Molly (Holly Aird) catches him eyeing up a pretty young woman (Eglantine Rembauville) who is inadvertently exposing her underwear.

Ludo (Nick Sidi) and Anna (Sophie Okonedo) are a couple whose romance doesn't seem fated to live out the day. And Noel (Tom Hardy) is a lecherous sort who is looking for a woman as interested in sex as he is.

In 'Cruel Intentions' (1999), Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the spoiled Kathryn Merteuil and Ryan Phillippe her step-brother Sebastian Valmont.

Bored of the girls who lust after him, Sebastian sets his sights on seducing Annette (Reese Witherspoon), the virginal daughter of the school headmaster.

However, Kathryn is scheming behind Sebastian's back and soon the sibling's relationship is polluted by deception and trickery, leading to tragic events.

Finally, in 'Closer' (2004), Dan (Jude Law) is a writer in London who wants to finish a novel, but in the meantime supports himself by writing obituaries.

One day he meets Alice (Natalie Portman), a beautiful American and they immediately fall for each other.

Dan initially returns her affection but soon her neediness begins to wear on him.

Anna (Julia Roberts) is a photographer who is hired to take a portrait of Dan for the dust jacket of his book.

Dan becomes attracted to her but she soon meets Larry (Clive Owen), a dermatologist, and marries him.

Dan can't get Anna out of his mind even though she's married, and the two become lovers, but Dan is frustrated by the fact that Anna is reluctant to leave Larry for him.
