Synopsis
Neighboring Sounds (O Som ao Redor, 2012) is a Brazilian thriller-drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho and set entirely within a single middle-class Recife street.
A private security crew shows up offering protection to the residents. Nobody asks too many questions at first. The film then drifts between neighbors — a wealthy landowner whose family history sits just below the surface, a young couple too distracted to notice the unease settling in around them, a housekeeper with her own quiet score to settle. Mendonça Filho builds dread out of ambient noise and idle routine rather than confrontation. The debut landed at the Rotterdam Film Festival and ranked among the best films of 2012 for critics at The New York Times and Sight & Sound. Stream Neighboring Sounds (2012) online on iFILM.
