In Paris, the shy bureaucrat Trelkovsky rents an old apartment without bathroom where the previous tenant, the Egyptologist Simone Choule, committed suicide. The unfriendly concierge (Shelley Winters) and the tough landlord Mr. Zy establish stringent rules of behavior and Trekovsky feels ridden by his neighbors.

After the death of Simone, Trekovsky feels obsessed for her and believes his landlord and neighbors are plotting a scheme to force him to also commit suicide.

Roman Polanski has always been an expert in disturbing his audience. He's also been an expert in fascinating and hypnotizing his spectators. Actually this tale of a hapless tenant in the most grave-like version of Paris you've ever seen is even more hypnotizing and fascinating than his elder "Repulsion."

I know I have heard about this film but I'm confused whether I have watched it or not... It sounds like a good movie though.. Still thank you so much for sharing that thread with us in this forum.
