Hollywood glamour photos are placed around his apartment as though they were portraits of relatives.
A tale with a bitter aftertaste, "Apartment Zero" is all over the place, capricious and preposterous as the cover of a tabloid newspaper.

 7 • Movies • 1980s indie 'Apartment Zero' honed skills of its makers
When it debuted in 1989, the independent film "Apartment Zero" featured a then little-known English actor named Colin Firth, a lesser-known American actor named Hart Bochner and a supporting cast of international actors that even devoted film fans wouldn't recognize in a police lineup of Paris Hilton impersonators.
The fact that the film got made at all was, as much as anything, a testament to the ignorance, as well as the talent and work ethic, of the two principals: Argentine-born director Martin Donovan and his screenwriting partner, David Koepp.
One reason why it's taken so long for this uncut version of "Apartment Zero" to come out was because of the problems Koepp and Donovan had raising money.

Apartment Zero centres around the close friendship which develops between Adrian and his charming lodger Jack, while a series of brutal murders spreads terror in the city.
Apartment Zero has had an unusually mixed response, winning festival prizes and comparisons with Hitchcock, Chabrol and Polanski, and inspiring a number of walk-outs.
"The inhabitants of the apartment building and Adrian in particular are Argentina," he says - crippled by "a sort of stilted elegance" and its European aspirations, anxious to deny its fl recent past and uncertain future.

 Hart Bochner: Apartment Zero - Movie
Adrian, the resident of Apartment Zero, has created within that space a controlled, sanitized existence into which the outside world cannot penetrate.
All the while this interaction is going on, the "classic American" movie theater that Adrian operates, is now being used to show films from Argentina's past in an effort to hunt down former members of the death squads that once held the country in a state of terror.
"Apartment Zero" is a claustrophobic, atmospheric mystery, most reminiscent of Roman Polanski's "The Tenant".

Apartment Zero is a little known, vastly underappreciated thriller from Argentina.
Set in the late 80s after the end of the "Dirty War," the film revolves around the paranoia, insanity, and suspicion that was inseparably intertwined with that era.
Apartment Zero is a great movie on its own, but taken in the context of the political struggle and social upheaval surrounding the Dirty War, an underlying metaphor becomes readily apparent.

 Apartment Zero
Apartment Zero is a fascinating movie that is simultaneously an insidious kind of dark and even satirical comedy as well as a thriller.
Adrian lives his life rigidly like a hermit in his apartment (numbered zero, hence the title of this movie), pretending to be British like the Anglophile he is, and memorizing trivias related to American movies that he plays at his theatre.
Apartment Zero has hot manlove that does not speak its name as well as plenty of dark and dangerous moments and dark comedy.

 Apartment Zero (1988)
He runs a small, rather unprofitable revival theater, and his apartment is decorated with photos of movie stars.
He would be a barrel of monkeys if not for that weird seriousness, but there's something antisocial about his love of film...something that suggests he would rather live in a safe cinematic bubble than deal with the real world.
It's hard to imagine someone like Adrian sharing his apartment with a boarder, but this is exactly what he decides to do.

 'Apartment Zero' (R)
But Adrian's also confessing to his uptight ways and implicitly stating the theme of Martin Donovan's "Apartment Zero," a brilliantly crafted psychological drama set in Argentina with at least two hundred marvelous idiosyncrasies of its own.
When cine-club proprietor Adrian (Colin Firth) -- whose only friends are the movie-star portraits festooning his apartment -- takes in boarder Jack (Hart Bochner), he thinks he's found the solution to his existential loneliness.
Donovan, co-scripting with David Koepp, not only builds an eerily affecting relationship between the two (things get even weirder), he also revels wittily -- and creepily -- in the incidentals: "Zero's" subsidiary characters are so richly (and darkly) conceived, they could spin off into movies of their own.

 Apartment Zero   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Meanwhile a series of gruesome, politically-motivated murders in the city leads Jack to believe that Adrian's suave veneer might be concealing a dangerous beast beneath, and the psychological tension between them begins to mount.
Co-written by the always interesting David Koepp (Stir of Echoes), who later spun off many of the same themes in his memorable Bad Influence, Apartment Zero is an efficient, tightly wound thriller which largely dispenses with showboating theatrics in favor of a chilling slow turn of the screws.
The always excellent Firth carries the burden of the film on his shoulders, and while he subsequently softened his image by appearing as the (often cuckolded) lead in a string of increasingly innocuous romantic farces, here he proves that he can go off his rocker with the best of them.
