Os inquilinos (The Tenants)
2009. Brazil.
Directed by Sergio Bianchi. With Fernando Alves Pinto, Zezeh Barbosa, Caio Blat.
Bianchi’s richly detailed excavation of society’s fear of and fascination with violence—from television’s constant stream of near pornographic mayhem to venomous suspicion between neighbors, petty feuds within married couples, and quarreling among children—is an indictment of the lowest human impulses.
