Cédric Klapisch in L'auberge espagnole (2002)

Pierre, a professional dancer, suffers from a serious heart disease. While he is waiting for a transplant which may (or may not) save his life, he has nothing better to do than look at the people around him, from the balcony of his Paris apartment. When Elise, his sister with three kids and no husband, moves in to his place to care for him, Pierre does not change his new habits. And instead of dancing himself, it is Paris and the Parisians who dance before his eyes.

Quotes
The screenplay is not a definitive stage in cinema and in film scriptwriting. If there is something that doesn't sound quite right on paper, it comes alive in practice and when the actors begin to speak; like some kind of incarnation. There's no narrative camera because of the basic structure. It's possible to improvise once we know what we're doing.
