Jericho Mansions
Synopsis
Leonard Grey, superintendent of Jericho Mansions. His world may be small but he cares for every inch of it. The fading wallpaper in the entrance hall, the ageing carpet on the stairs, the clank of the elevator and above all, the faint but continuous refrain of lives being lived around him - For the last thirty years the building has been his universe. Beyond the front door of the apartment block lies a terrifying agoraphobic nightmare into which, for as long as he can remember, he has never dared to venture.
But Leonard's sanctuary is beginning to crumble; forces are conspiring to kick him out. Constant accusations by Lily Melnik, the landlady, of stealing worthless items from her apartment, stirrings of discontent among the residents, infidelities and finally a murder.
Bill Cherry, one of the building's inhabitants is found dead, his body thrown down the garbage chute. Though the cops believe they have their killer and motive - a jealous tenant taking revenge on his wife's lover - Leonard begins to discover clues that point to a different kind of killer. Himself.

Anazapta
Director: Alberto Sciamma
Year: 2002
I will destroy everything that comforts you, the servant who obeys you, the physician who heals you, the priest who gives you absolution, the husband who protects you. Anazapta is a medieval thriller, set in 1348 in England; a tale of lust and revenge that unfolds beneath the shadow of the Black Death. It is the story of an enigmatic French nobleman, brought to a small English village as a hostage, who turns out to be an impostor, a nameless stranger with a deadly agenda, a man who embodies the most primal instincts and who uses them to exact a merciless revenge on those around him. He has the ultimate weapon at his command. It's the Black Death itself. 'So it drifted away, an evil noxious mist, contaminating all it touched'.
