Beneath Her Window / Pod njenim oknom
Series: At the Crossroads: Slovenian Cinema [July 16-22, 2008]
Director: Metod Pevec, Country: Slovenia, Release: 2003, Runtime: 91

Dusa is a 30-something dance instructor whose life’s in a rut. Involved with a married man, she’d like to break away but fears being alone. She’s not helped by the example of her mother, who takes on a new boyfriend each time she needs household repairs done. Then Dusa suspects that she’s being stalked—that someone is not only following her but also going into her apartment. After all, her drain was clogged, and now it’s not…

Director and screenwriter Metod Pevec’s delicious, offbeat romantic comedy moves with the grace of a fine dancer, instantly switching steps and even subjects as it traces the emotional permutations of the engaging Dusa. His film is full of confused, defensive, completely contradictory and very contemporary characters—and he loves every one of them.
