L'Appartement
Director Gilles Mimouni's first feature film is a stylish suspense thriller that confounds the audience while presenting them with an extraordinary and elusive mystery. Vincent Cassel stars as Max, a former playboy who has decided to settle down by marrying his current love, Muriel. However, during a business trip, Max catches a glimpse of the great lost love of his life, reviving his wanderlust and sending him off on a chase of the elusive Lisa, whom he had overheard suggesting to a friend that her lover, Daniel, had killed someone for her. Soon, Max is trying to unravel the mystery behind the suspicious death of Daniel's wife, which he hopes will lead him closer to Lisa. Mimouni's deft direction and impeccable visual sense, along with his many nods to Alfred Hitchcock, make this a hugely enjoyable thriller.

Another example of French cinema at it's best...
This is without doubt, one of the finest European films of the 1990's. Vincent Cassel is on top form here as he plays Max, who becomes entranced by a ... read more »

Boredom thrust upon you.
My brother viewed this film. He felt the film had very little feeling regards to boring characters and unrealistic situations. In brief it's about four ... read more »

Cherchez la dame!
This is an absorbing and clever film, but I found it confusing at times. The problem with subtitles is that one is concentrating on reading the text without ... read more »

Starts well, gets predictable, then gets downright boring
This movie starts well and sets up a potentially interesting, if ludicrously far-fetched, situation, even if the characters are two-dimensional and ... read more »
