![]() However, she does not want the way out of the apartment at the Apartment’s terms. Second, imitation of life: Like every sane person, Anna too tries to fight and escape her predefined fate. Like, the memories of an ex that repeatedly comes to haunt one the furniture and the wallpaper in her apartment keeps reappearing. This internal commotion is externally depicted by the ‘Apartment’ that finds it difficult to get rid of its old pieces of furniture and wallpaper. Like in every breakup, Anna struggles too to detach. Now, what could be scarier?Īnna Sobetzki, played by Petra Staduan, the new tenant of the apartment determines to put up a fight against this apartment, without sacrificing herself or her morals.įor me, the plot of this movie has three dimensions that progress in phases as the movie proceeds:įirst, drawing a parallel between the protagonist’s internal mood and external situation: Gone through a recent breakup, Anna tries her best to move on by starting a new life and getting rid of her ex’s memories. She does all that by placing Anna in an apartment that makes its occupants age before time and later absorbs them.

Maybe he's a college student who is freaking out about having to go into the real world soon ("if you're so smart tell me why are you still so afraid?"). The narrator is just telling this "crazy child" to enjoy life more. Anyway, to me, this song is pretty self-explanatory. I searched all over the Internet last year until I found it, and then I bought The Stranger album. I heard it for the first time on a rerun of Taxi when I was probably 10 years old.
