One Floor Below

CF Sep 22 3pm | In brief: In this brilliantly executed slow-burn thriller from Romanian director Radu Muntean, a family man who witnessed the prelude to a murder determines to keep his mouth shut and mind his own business — until the possible killer turns up at his door one day and begins to ingratiate himself into the lives of his wife and son.

Ramblings:  Perhaps I dozed off when the defining moment in this film happened, but I really could not figure out why I wanted to watch this as I followed the arcane politics and procedures of changing ownership of automobiles in Romania.
