[Apartment]
Bizarrely-engrossing, Hitchcock-influenced sort of thriller about romantic obsession and its consequences for those willingly trapped within its limitations. You find yourself compelled to watch even though it is hard to know what is going on in the first half. The film wilfully manoeuvres itself from first- to third-person – quite skilfully – and just when you thought you have got it, throws a googly at you.
A movie about sexual stereotyping, sexual obsession and a critique of the inability of many men to see women as individuals - and of not letting go of the past when sexual relationships end. Nevertheless the female characters come across very well here and are ultimately partners in romantic crime.
Fascinating, but confusing, tale of a man who cannot stop chasing women and settle down with one.
