Tensions rise as the architect's inability to deal with his erratic neighbour and his own demanding wife becomes apparent. Disquieting, multi-layered analogy of modern society's social divide is entertaining, but has been pitched as a comedy even though it's mostly devoid of laughs, and has an ending that feels random after the gradual buildup that was mad before it. Also, directors Cohn and Duprat overindulge on long running shots where nothing seems to happen a little too often. Still, for all it's shortcomings we have some compensation; Araoz stands out as the often menacing neighbour. and Spregelburg is good at transmitting the painful awkwardness of the situation.
