The Man Next Door (2009)
Movie
Released
A whole film about a window, and it is gripping. A smug, successful designer living in a Le Corbusier house in La Plata discovers that his crude, loud neighbor is building a window into the wall between their homes, and polite negotiation slowly turns into a class war.
Rafael Spregelburd and Daniel Aráoz are a perfectly mismatched pair, and the comedy comes from watching the sophisticated one behave worse and worse. The film was shot entirely in the real Casa Curutchet, the only house Le Corbusier designed in the Americas, and it won a cinematography award at Sundance. The tone darkens as it goes, so expect the laugh to catch in your throat.
