Passeio com Johnny Guitar (1995)

(SPOILERS!)

A middle-aged man is walking home at night. He greets his neighbor on the way. Before he enters his modest apartment, he looks through a window and sees a young woman combing her hair languidly in the building across the street; he looks at her while in the background we hear Johnny Guitar's famous dialogue between Vienna and Johnny (perhaps coming from the TV inside his apartment). He tries to make contact with her but she shuts the window. He enters his apartment and sits watching the rest of that scene from Johnny Guitar. He then stands up and goes to the window and gazes at the myriad of houses on the hillslope nearby. He just gazes and smokes. He then goes out of frame; we still see the hillslope with its houses while the sun rises to a new day. (End of film.)
