Because so much can happen in a room, an apartment, a property… Here are three films to see and rewatch, which prove to you how much confinement does not rhyme with boredom!

In first place, Window on Courtyard

A classic by A. Hitchcock, where most of the action happens through a window. The hero, Jeff, wounded in the leg, spends his days watching the neighbors of his building through his window. Equipped with a pair of binoculars, he notices the habits of his neighbors. It is at the sight of unusual events that the scenario of a drama will be born in his mind. Would the neighbor on one side, who lives above the lonely old girl and to the right of the attractive young dancer, have killed his wife? But what did the neighbor's dog on the top floor sniff out in the planters of the courtyard? A film whose rhythm rises crescendo and which invites you to look differently at your next-door neighbor. Binoculars in hand, the secret life of your neighbors, could well prove thrilling. While keeping in mind that the one who sees, is seen. When cinema is confined...

In second place, Eight Women , a film by François Ozon

( adapted from the play by Robert Thomas ) It is in the living room of a large house, that eight women question and suspect each other to find out who killed the master of the house. Mother, daughters, friends, servants, all compete in a court-like salon. Thus, stuck in the house caught under the snow, secrets spring up and accumulate, while the police investigation gradually disappears under a flood of revelations. Something to make you think about sometimes misleading appearances, the secrets of well-buried families and relationships between women. Far from wanting to sow discord within your family, these moments of proximity could be an opportunity to rediscover your entourage … Are our loved ones really as close as we think?

Finally, in third and last position, Shining

It takes third place for the simple reason that you should not be afraid by imagining such a scenario in your apartment. In a large hotel with a bloody past and completely isolated, the life of a family will gradually turn into horror. The anxiety-provoking atmosphere is intensifying. The characters are more and more disturbing. It seems that something terrible is coming… When cinema is confined... A classic, which disturbs as much as it captivates the viewer. To see or to see again to shiver at the long days of confinement that await us …
