This was a psychological thriller with the most sympathetic protagonist I have seen in years (Portaluppi). He works hard at his thankless job, goes home to his starkly humble apartment and eats his meager meals. You find yourself really rooting for him and wanting good things for him - but alas, his nemesis enters the scene and things begin to spiral at a Hitchcockian pace. This was something different and not to be missed.
