Review: A Closed Book (15)

Sir Paul (Tom Conti) is a well-respected author, whose entire world is shattered when he is involved in an accident that robs him of his eyesight.

Becoming a recluse, with only his housekeeper, Mrs Kilbride (Miriam Margolyes) to connect him to the outside world, he struggles to come to terms with the loss of his most cherished sense.

Five years pass and he decides to pen an autobiography with the help of a new assistant, Jane Ryder (Daryl Hannah). As he becomes increasingly reliant on this resourceful woman, it becomes apparent that she has an ulterior motive.
