Perfect Strangers (2016)

Perfect Strangers (Perfetti sconosciuti, Italy, 2016), the original rather than any of its many remakes. A group of old friends at a dinner party agree to put their phones on the table and share every message and call that arrives. Everyone knows that dread, which is why Paolo Genovese's comedy needs no cultural homework. It is set almost entirely around one table, so you can keep your eyes on the subtitles without missing any action, and the laughs turn steadily more uncomfortable. Guinness lists it as the most remade film, with 24 versions in different languages as of January 2024.
