I've seen Apartment Zero once per decade, starting in the 90's. Every time it left me with a different feeling. The humor, the sadness, the fear...In spite of the darkness there is something about this movie that exudes love. I can't explain it. Flawed characters if not downright unlikeable become compelling, irresistible. Colin Firth is astonishing - in 1988 ! - not a single false move. He seems so uneasy with real people, tight, hermetic - that's why the entrance of Hart Bochner - superb! - seems to come out of a cinematic mind and Colin surrenders, without meaning or even knowing it, he does. Dressed in a sensational score This movie, over the years, has become an essential to me. Oh yeah.
