7/10

The Neighbors' Window - *1/2 out of ***

This Academy Award winner for Best Live Action Short Film was not at all what I was expecting considering the title and synopsis. In its mere 20 minutes, we feel like we get to know the main character, well played by Dizzia, on a rather personal level - more so than many feature-length motion pictures. She loves her husband and children but is just needing something more outside of her role as wife and mother. Even if it's just the excitement of voyeurism. As I said earlier, this is not what you're probably thinking, and I wouldn't dare ruin the unexpected journey this short film takes. Suffice it to say, at the end, you may find yourself not only surprised but moved. It's nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary, and I won't be thinking about it in the weeks and months ahead, but I enjoyed the time I spent with it, and it succeeds in what it's trying to accomplish. Those who have experienced the overwhelming fatigue of family life will likely find much to appreciate here. And relate to. - Jeff Marshall,.

Wissenswertes
In a 2019 interview with Filmmaker Magazine, Marshall Curry detailed key aspects of the production and storytelling: "It was a production challenge to find two apartments that faced each other. I knew if we tried to cheat it, the audience would feel the falseness. So I looked and looked, and in the end we shot in a very generous friends' apartment, and their neighbors also said okay... The passage of time is an important part of the story - how Alli's obsession with the neighbors develops, and how the neighbors' lives change over the course of 18 months. That's tricky to squeeze into a film that's not even 20 minutes long. So we had to build in clues that communicated the passage of time - weather changing, holiday decorations, infant appearing and growing, etc. It's always a delicate balance between being too obvious and on-the-nose with those clues and being so subtle that people miss it altogether. When I was editing I would show people cuts and ask them at the end how much time they felt had passed. I'd add a few more clues or take a few away until I settled specific shots and specific durations in the final cut."

When Alli is alone in the apartment and watching the neighbors, the binoculars are visible on the window sill, but when she wants to use them, suddenly they are in a desk drawer.
