Synopsis
"Apartment Zero" (1989) is an Anglo-Argentine psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM — set in Buenos Aires at the dawn of the 1980s, as political killings cut through the city under the shadow of military rule.
Adrian LeDuc (Colin Firth) runs a faltering repertory cinema and lives like a recluse. Money runs out, so he takes in a roommate: Jack Carney (Hart Bochner), an American who is charming, easygoing, and somehow a perfect fit for every social situation. Adrian grows increasingly certain that Jack is hiding something enormous — and the bodies piling up across Buenos Aires keep suggesting he's right.
Martin Donovan's film never tips its hand cleanly. The claustrophobic dynamic between the two men — obsession, dread, something close to desire — holds the tension all the way through. Firth gives a coiled, precise performance that previews everything he'd later become. Underseen and genuinely unnerving. Stream "Apartment Zero" (1989) online on iFILM.
