The Dog Walker2003

The boy two floors up can only see the back of the girl’s head but that’s enough for a crush to develop. Josh Safdie made this assured comedy in and around his apartment building when he was still a film student at Boston University.

Love. Grief. Shock. Denial. Sleeplessness. Bubble bath. Mucus. Masturbation. Pigeons. Toothpaste. Hospital. F**k. Bye. Hair. Sports. Chicken. Bootie. Kids. Rejection. Squirrels. Cries. Awkward. Ninety-five scenes. Five minutes. Life’s a bitch.

Suspecting his ex-fiancée of placing a curse upon him, a doltishly charming man seeks to reverse his steadily mounting misfortunes.

On the brink of wedlock, a young man gets a fully loaded gift from his in-laws that sheds new light on the road ahead.

This could be a perfect love story as long as no one bleeds to death.

On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, a child prodigy is about to die (unless his mysterious plan can save him from impending demise).
