Colin Firth may be Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy (Pride and Prejudice) or Mr. Mark Darcy (Bridget Jones) to many people, or even Tommy Judd (Another Country) for those with really long memories, but how about Adrian LeDuc in Apartment Zero from 1988? Firth plays the young, extremely anti-social owner of an apartment complex in modern-day Buenos Aires who also runs a broken-down revival movie theater, showing English-language films from the 30s and 40s.
Strapped for cash, he’s forced to look for a roommate, and finally settles on the charming, seductive and mysterious Jack Carney, played by Hart Bochner with just the right amount of insidiousness to make him utterly irresistible to everyone he meets, including the tenants in the other apartments. Both men are harboring deeply held secrets and, when they’re revealed, the results are both devastating and surprising.
