Synopsis: César (Tosar) is the caretaker of a random city appartment building in Spain. Having access to all apartments and knowing details of the life of their renters creates for him a special relationship with them, especially with the young and beautiful Clara (Etura).
Review: I thougt this movie has been done before, the plot is so obvious. Actually not much happems in the movie, it is all about the tension and the great acting of Luis Tosar making the viewer feel sick, and he is very good at it! But in the same you feel empathy about this poor lonesome man.Actually I found loneliness to be an important topic in the movie. The way of filming by Balaguero (known to be talented since The Nameless) is also very good, showing close up views of the characters, in particular the disturbing face of Cesar, and slowly establishing this character. We almost never get out of the building, and the atmosphere sometimes reminds of Rear Window from Hitchcock. I wouldn'd be surprised if an american remake was done shortly.
Rating: 8 /10
