Английская Википедия:Curiosity & the Cat
Curiosity & the Cat is a 1999 German thriller crime drama film directed by Christian Alvart and starring Konstantin Graudus, Detlef Lutz, Andreas Erfurth, and Nadeshda Brennicke.
Plot
A German writer gets curious about the violent and sado-masochistic ongoings in his neighbour's apartments and drills holes in the walls to gain more insight. He becomes consumed by his curiosity for their seemingly more interesting lives, simultaneously neglecting his relationship with his British girlfriend.
Production
The film was shot in Berlin.
The tagline for the film was "Watch Your Neighbor".
Henri is seen washing himself several times in the movie usually by Christian Alvart's typical shot: He is reflected by three mirrors, effectively showing him four times from all angles.
Aphex Twin's song Come to Daddy is used twice in the film.
The legal disclaimer reads: "Die hier dargestellten Personen und Ereignisse beruhen allein auf den Auswüchsen eines kranken Geistes und sind so nie passiert.
