A town takes on a new security firm in this suspenseful urban drama
When there’s something to deal with, the best thing to do is to hire a professional to handle it, and to get out of their way. For the residents in Neighboring Sounds, that means replacing the town’s night watchman with a new private security firm after two robberies. However, this isn’t an easy solution for this town. With the new firm coming to town, director Kleber Mendonça Filho brings us to witness how the residents grow uneasy, never quite resolving past pains in this present-time panic. Unfolding slowly but surely, this portrait of the country hints at those pains through a deft weave of its multiple storylines.
