Viajes: New Cinema from Spain and Latin America

When:
Thursday, November 15, 2012, 7:00pm - 7:00pm
Description:

In this black comedy, Leonardo (Rafael Spregelburd) is a prestigious designer who lives with his family in a famous house designed by Le Corbusier. Life is seemingly ideal for Leonardo until his neighbor Victor (Daniel Aráoz), a boorish used-car salesman, breaks through a common wall to make a window in order to “catch a few rays of sun.” Unfortunately, Victor’s new window looks directly into Leonardo’s living space. As the tension mounts between Leonardo and Victor, a quiet war of wills ensues between the two homeowners with nothing but a bit of real estate in common.

(Mariano Cohn & Gastón Duprat, 2010, Argentina; Spanish with English subtitles, digital, 103 min)
