Saturday, I took my nephew to see a screening compilation of the live-action shorts nominated for an Oscar this year. They were entirely compelling. One of them, titled Saria, told the tragic true nightmare of teen girls trapped in a Guatemalan orphanage (prison, really) so dramatically, that it made a woman sitting in our row sob for 10 minutes. But the one we liked best was called The Neighbors’ Window, about a married couple with three young kids who yearn to regain the passion of a young, horny couple they see in an apartment across the street from them in Brooklyn It’s a fascinating twist on the grass being greener, and I’ll be damned, but movie won last night.
