The poor and shy Gabriele, spends his days with binoculars in hand and eyes glued to the windows of the building across the street where lives Alice, the beautiful neighbor. Everything seems immutable in the life of Gabriele, but thanks to the encounter / clash with the explosive Fabio, Gabriele exceeds his shyness to be open to life.
Reviews
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
