Dazzling, but what's it about?

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2000)

I was mesmerized by this movie, but not because of the story line. The plot developments (except one) are fairly predictable and even shared in advance on some occasions.
What does make the movie stand out are the performances of all its actors and a dazzling visual style and cinematography.
You could summarize the movie by saying that the neighbors from hell end up next door to each other and the inevitable happens.
