Wilder’s much-lauded Oscar® winner is a film of contradictions – a romantic comedy about suicide and adultery, at once glaringly ‘Hollywood’ yet relatably mundane. Lemmon’s everyman, CC Baxter, lives a banal existence, defined by sacrifice in pursuit of ambition. The one light in his life is his exchanges with MacLaine’s charming and chaotic elevator operator. Balancing quips with existential crises, The Apartment simultaneously warms your heart and breaks it.

We'll meet briefly before the film starts and then after the film when there will be the option to have a snack and/or drink at the venue.
