The Apartment (1960) *****

The Apartment (1960) is Billy Wilder's best film, in a career filled with many incredible films—the perfect blend of dry humor, mild cynicism, and relatable drama. The themes (suicide, infidelity, men in positions of power) are still relevant and the tone is just right. Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine have never been better and Wilder handles the dark subject matter with the utmost respect.
