Review of The Apartment (1960) by Grant K — 10 Mar 2017
With flashes of wit, brevity, and comic brilliance, this is a soulfully poignant film that explores the throes of self-hatred and the downfalls of being too charitable. While it seems to be a lighthearted romantic comedy on its surface, it's a dark, cynical and profoundly sad picture just beneath the surface - just like its characters.
Typically brilliant work from Wilder; who outdoes himself with this 1960 best picture winner.
