Mientras Duermes plot

"Someone is watching over you"

Cesar has masterfully concealed his basic depression and apathy from his fellow man by pretending to be a well-bred and hard-working gentleman. The only thing that keeps him going every day is his urge to make the people around him unhappy. He only shares this horrible secret with his bedridden mother. As a doorman of an apartment complex, he indulges the inhabitants. When the attractive Clara moves into the complex, he becomes completely obsessed.

Brrr, what a bad and unwell feeling I got from the film. From start to finish.

So completely satisfied.

A very successful thriller with a sublime sadistic concierge. As far as I'm concerned, those Spaniards are masters of these kinds of films.

The story takes place entirely in the apartment complex, which only adds to the discomfort.

Reasonable film about a janitor in an apartment building who doesn't make things any easier for the residents. An atmospheric thriller with a slow and reasonably tense build-up. The story is a bit repetitive here and there and the main character could have been explored a bit more (despite a fine rendition of Luis Tosar).

Sadism isn't really my thing, I'll be honest. The fact that one person wants to harm another person is also not that interesting in my opinion. What can make it interesting are the motives of the main character. That is precisely what I find rather weak in Mientras Duermes. As if the spectrum of human emotions stands or falls with the question of whether you can feel happiness. And if that were the case, then you only have one thing to do: mess with your neurotransmitters in such a way that you still have this experience (via medication or drugs). But no, our main character can only survive if he makes other people unhappy. That the film puts this glee in the spotlight in the last shot, leaves me with a dirty feeling. Had hoped for more thriller and less dirty play.
