The Neighbours

Three couples meet at one of them for a slide show evening. But nobody takes pleasure in this evening, where triumphs the banality of the exchanges: it is a socialization forced by the bonds of the neighborhood, devoid of empathy or sincerity.

Directed by Micheline Guertin, The Neighbours leans on a strong ensemble — Marc Messier, Muriel Dutil, Serge Thériault — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1987.
