An office worker lends his flat to senior colleagues and discovers the personal cost of getting ahead. The Apartment was released in 1960.
Still a wonderfully sharp romantic comedy about ambition, loneliness and choosing better.
What makes The Apartment a strong choice tonight is not simply the premise, but the way it gives that premise room to gather force. It rewards an uninterrupted watch, when its tone and rhythm can do their work.
Choose it when you want a film with a clear point of view rather than something to half-watch. Save it now, then come back to PLOT with the scene, performance or feeling that stays with you.
