the apartment (1996)

Lisa is a stage actress and leaves abruptly for a two-month tour, giving Alice a letter to deliver to Max asking him to wait for her; Alice never sends the letter. The same night, they make love, and their relationship starts to develop. Max, believing Lisa left because she didn't love him, accepts a job in New York and leaves. The girl introduces herself as Lisa. The girl's real name is Alice (The flashbacks show that Alice and Lisa were best friends, living in apartments on the same floor of two facing buildings, and that Alice became obsessed with Max, Lisa's then-boyfriend, from a distance. The Apartment (French: L'Appartement) is a 1996 French film directed by Gilles Mimouni, and starring Vincent Cassel, Romane Bohringer, and Monica Bellucci.

Eventually, the truth begins to unravel in front of everyone's eyes, leading to dramatic and life-changing consequences for all involved.

First, he thinks it is Lisa, as the girl who came to the apartment resembles Lisa from behind. Lucien is always faithful to Alice, and pursues her, but both Alice and Lisa (who, as their names imply, are reflections of each other) initially both love Max, and Max, although madly in love with Lisa, turns to Alice after reading her diary, just before reality dawns and he accepts his fate with Muriel. For this reason, she avoids her flat and lets Alice use it. Alice leaves her life behind and flies to Rome, bidding Max one last farewell glance as he embraces Muriel at the airport. After several misunderstandings, they finally get acquainted. Upon her return, Lisa is heartbroken that Max has left her and leaves on a cruise (a gift from Alice) to ease her mind, where she meets a rich, married older man named Daniel. In a sub-plot, Alice is seen to be acting in Shakespeare's The film begins and ends in "reality" where Max and Muriel have a world weary but sensible life in high finance (and the implication is that Muriel is the boss's daughter, thus imitating Egeus' involvement in Hermia's marriage to Demetrius), but almost all the action takes place in a dreamlike trance where the lovers don't really know who they love. The film has generally been received positively by critics, who praised it for its complex plot and stylish direction.The film was also a modest hit in France gaining 55,565 admissions its opening weekend and 152,714 admissions total. To complicate matters further, Alice is dating Max's best friend, Lucien, who is also Max's confidante. Lisa returns to her apartment and is confronted by Daniel, who drops a lighter on the floor (covered in gasoline) causing the apartment to explode and blowing Lucien through the window of a café across the street. Lisa is being pursued by Daniel, who might have murdered his wife to get closer to her. She restyled herself to look like Lisa while secretly engineering a breakup between them.
