Neighbors

Neighbors (Vicini di casa, 2022) is an Italian comedy by Paolo Costella you can watch online on iFILM, built around one dinner that goes off the rails. Giulio and Anna, married long enough to finish each other's sentences, head across the hall to the younger couple next door — louder, freer, far bolder behind closed doors. It looks like an ordinary evening with wine.

Then the hosts float an indecent proposal, and the cozy apartment turns into a quiet battlefield. Old grudges, jealousy, confessions nobody wanted to make out loud — in a couple of hours the guests learn more about their own marriage than in years of living it. Claudio Bisio and Vittoria Puccini play the blindsided spouses; Valentina Lodovini and Vinicio Marchioni are the provocateurs across the landing.

Adapted from a hit Spanish stage play, the film barely leaves four walls, running on sharp dialogue, awkward silences and full-volume Italian temper. Light, mean and at times very frank — a comedy made for a night in for two. Stream Neighbors (2022) online on iFILM.
