Radu Muntean : 2015
One Floor Below
Whilst Sandu Patrascu is focused on his small car hire business, his dog and his diet, this rather ordinary man's life is turned upside down by an event which takes place in the building where he lives with his wife and young son Matei. One day he overhears a stormy row between two of his neighbours, a woman and a man, from the flat below. A few hours later, the woman is dead and the police are on the scene. Was it an accident? Has a crime been committed? No one knows and Sandu keeps quiet about what he witnessed. His silence slowly but surely works away at him, just like he works away at the neighbour he suspects. A tense relationship, characterised by not breathing a word, is forged between the two men, troubling Sandu even more deeply. Radu Muntean's slow-burning psychodrama premiered in competition in the Un Certain Regard section at Festival de Cannes 2015.
