Synopsis: Close Up is a provocative and potentially dangerous pulling together of two opposing aspects of film form – namely, a ‘documentartist’ soundtrack comprising interview material with Nicaraguan revolutionaries on the subject of art, propaganda and imperialism, and an image track of much beauty, veering toward the abstract as the camera moves ceaselessly over the objects in the a room, or those represented in the 17 blown up photographs. – Michael O’Pray
