Sometimes it proves best to not pay attention to what the neighbours are up to; those noises might not be something you want to know more about. Let’s just say that it’s a good thing that Elizabeth covers everything in plastic sheeting immediately after she returns from the hospital.

It’s amusing that they treat brain surgery as an out-patient procedure, sending her home as soon as she wakes up, and that her allergies really start up so soon after surgery, but the best pieces of the film defy explanation; they’re based on action and sounds; a kiss gone over-the-top-bad, a string quartet, and the plot device of the French Guy next door. This is a film that has to be seen.
