As we find out about them, we also find out that there is an apartment nearby that has new tenants (D'Onofrio fans will understand the Oscar-related reference) and they are the exact opposite.
The dialog is minimal and the 'neighbors' are never heard. “They are like a crash car you can’t look away from. 3 out of 7 found this helpful. Totally deserves the best live action short film Oscar for 2020. ‘The Neighbors' Window’ review by allain ️ • Letterboxd Letterboxd — Your life in film As anyone who lives in a town or city will tell you, it's hard for neighbours who don't draw their curtains not to catch your eye, especially after dark. A pair of binoculars is always handy, and Alli just can’t seem to get enough of the couple across the street. We had Peeping Tom in 1960, which explored that very phenomena, and Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 classic Rear Window, which inspired generations of filmmakers.
The couple across the street is a looming presence, and even though we don’t see them up close, their shenanigans are very much part of the narrative.
And while many details are missing from the film, like we don’t know what Alli does, or what her husband’s name is, it doesn’t really matter.

And as the name suggests, we do it while we peep into the neighbour’s window. The Neighbors’ Window — 2020 Oscar Nominated Live Action Short Film Review February 6, 2020 Alex Brannan Leave a comment Alli (Maria Dizzia) and Jacob (Greg Keller) are married with two children with another on the way. In Marshall Curry’s The Neighbors’ Window, a married couple (Maria Dizzia and Greg Keller) of three are just finishing dinner and putting the kids to bed, when they discover a young couple in their 20s have just moved into the building directly across from theirs.
The short film showcases a story of two different lives. But it also makes you want to hold onto the people who matter, very very tightly, for life as we know it can be fleeting at best. One night a couple spy on their neighbors enthusiastically doing the deed and they're naturally transfixed and amused. Weeks pass and life continues to frazzle, the baby arrives - and so does a pair of binoculars, that might not be being employed for the walking trips originally planned. The Neighbors' Window rating: 4 stars The line between cinema and voyeurism is often blurred. Closer home, we had Padosan (1968) and the antics of love that revolved around a window. Dizzia - so often a supporting player in features - also makes the most of centre stage here, showing us Alli not just reacting to what is going on around her but processing things first.
Think Rear Window, but less thriller-ish. And as the name suggests, we do it while we peep into the neighbour’s window. Tweet. The camera sees and chronicles things that the naked eye ignores, or maybe chooses to deny. Dance parties and brunches and late nights of the couple are juxtaposed by Alli feeding her baby, roaming around in a dressing gown, and just trying to make sense of it all. A 20-something couple moves into the other apartment, and are having uninhibited sex and parties, which makes the older couple nostalgic about their former days. Think Rear Window, but less thriller-ish. This year’s winner of the best short film in the Live Action category at the Oscars, The Neighbors’ Window, is a 20-minute life lesson on why we should count our blessings. Marshall Curry's Oscar winning short is a well crafted film. 1 out of 1 found this helpful. I believed this was the weakest of the five Oscar-nominated shorts, but I believe this will be the winner. Writer/director Marshall Curry knows a thing or two about the joys of watching as he cut his teeth in documentary work - and perhaps the added feel of veracity here comes from the fact his film was inspired by a true story told on a podcast (The Living Room) by screenwriter Diane Weipert in 2015. Pin It. It is definitely not meant in a provoking way.

Curry's documentary background helps with the quick immersion into Alli and Jacob's flat. Greetings again from the darkness.
