"The Apartment" is a 1960 American film directed by Billy Wilder. The film is in its original version with French subtitles (vostFR), with a duration of 125 minutes and in 35mm. The cast includes Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, Fred MacMurray, and Ray Walston. "The Apartment" won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Production Design in 1961.
The film tells the story of Baxter, a New York insurance employee who, to get a promotion, lends his apartment to his married and philandering boss. On Christmas Eve, he discovers a colleague who has attempted suicide in his bed.
Despite its humor, the film is a sharp social critique and an analysis of America's sexual mores. Superbly photographed in CinemaScope, the film skillfully blends several genres, starting as a satire, transforming into a poignant drama, and ending in a romantic comedy.
"Diamond-sharp satire with a brilliant performance from Lemmon." (Time Out Film Guide)
