This is a captivating film. A young man is totally taken with an older woman who lives in an apartment across from him. He uses a little telescopic device to spy on her. He has fallen in love and bumbles around, carelessly finding ways to engage with her. He is very young and careless. Eventually he spills his guts to her. He has watched her for a year and knows so much about her. She is, herself, an angry, lonely person, who sees love as baseless and manipulative. Her original motivation is to gain his affection only to stomp on his heart. But things aren't that simple and she makes a near disastrous mistake. In the end we are left to guess a bit, but the film is highly satisfying.
