The neighborhood

*The film is about a man who is a professional photographer. His name is Jeff. Jeff has a problem: he has a broken leg, so he can’t do anything and he has to be at home all the time. That is when the problem starts. The only entertainment he has is observing the other buildings through the window. In the morning, he looks at a girl in the other building;then, Stella (his doctor and nurse) visits him at home and, at night, his girlfriend Lisa has dinner with him. And that is all he does during the day. But, one day, when Lisa is away, he starts looking through the window and sees Thorwald arguing with his wife. That night, Thorwal, goes in and out of the house a few times and the next day the blinds of his wife’s room remained closed… What do you think happened next?

*

* I think this film is one of the best films ever. I never watched one like this one before. It’s about mystery and about romance. I recommend you to watch this film because I think you are going to enjoy watching it.

* In my opinion, this film is great and a very good example of a complex and well-thought-of film.

* The beginning is a little bit boring, and it does not get exciting until the protagonist starts suspecting something bad has happened in the building he has been observing.

* Then, everything becomes very interesting because it is genuinely mysterious and you end up believing a little bit of all.

* I also recommend it.
