You need a well-developed taste for the bizarre to appreciate this unique movie gem. Here's a complex film that's guaranteed to get under your skin. Despite some direct references to "Psycho," "Repulsion," "Sisters" and other shockers, the film comes off as wholly original, largely due to its two vivid main characters and its smart Buenos Aires setting. The two principals represent opposite sides of one another: Adrian is uptight, uncomfortable, and unable to bear human contact until Jack arrives like a beautiful Angel of Death, charming women and men alike with his seemingly easygoing, nonjudgmental demeanor. He manages to fulfill a need in each of the apartment building's dwellers. They eagerly welcome him into their lives unaware of his capacity for evil. A wolf in sheep's clothing. The Buenos Aires locale provides a similar duality, as both a familiar urban landscape and a strange, foreign, detached environment. It's a place where covert political intrigue can go unquestioned, and where any inhabitant can lead an anonymous, rootless existence. Wonderful evocative music helps set the stage. "Apartment Zero" is a guessing game right up to the end.
