"Set in Buenos Aires, Adrian LeDuc is a lonely sociopath, forced to rent his insane mother's room to Jack Carney. Carney appears normal at first, but as their friendship develops, Adrian suspects that Jack may be the government mercenary turned serial killer who has been terrorizing the city. The shocking climax of this tale of deceit, perversion, and murder reveals the darker side of the human psyche," according to the DVD presentation of "The Original Theatrical Version" (restoring trims).
An influential film (to those who've seen it), "Apartment Zero" is well worth knocking up.
Director Martin Donovan, with assistance from David Koepp, create an "Odd Couple" in desperate need of psychiatric care. Reclusive and closeted Colin Firth (as Adrian) is fixated on both his ailing mother, and Hollywood movie stars, like Montgomery Clift. Financially strapped, Mr. Firth decides to rent a room in his apartment to sexy and mysterious Hart Bochner (as Jack). For two hours, the tension between the two men mounts, and you're never really sure who is going to come out on top.
