Neighbouring Sounds

ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage presents Neighbouring Sounds. Seen last May in the Bright Family Screening Room, from its sophisticated and aurally keen opening sequence, film programmer, critic and now-director Kleber Mendon�§a Filho's gripping debut is assured and audacious--unmistakably a breakout film. A private security firm is hired to police the streets of a middle-class neighborhood in present-day Brazil, their presence the catalyst for Neighboring Sounds' exploration of a culture seething with discontents and anxiety, "the palpable unease of a society that remains unreconciled to its troubled past and present inequities" (FSLC).
