Billy Wilder, 1960, 125 min.
The Apartment is a gem of a film with a star cast, directed by Billy Wilder; whose comedic scripts dance around dark streaks of human nature.
One man among thirty thousand employees in a New York insurance company is working overtime: "It's not like I am overly ambitious..." he explains "You see, I have this little problem with my apartment…. I can't always get in when I want to."
The nuanced interplay of comedy and drama makes it a film to be savoured and watched more than once.
The film screens at Longden Hill, Friday Jan 15,
2020 at 8.30 pm.
