This poker-faced, apocalyptic masterpiece that was one of the most original films of the 1990s has a new relevance for our polarized, pandemic-paralyzed age. In an unnamed city emptied out by an epidemic and assailed by endless rain, a lonely young man living in a crumbling apartment building begins a tentative, initially adversarial relationship with the solitary woman residing below him through a hole in his floor/her ceiling. The movie's drab, damp atmosphere is buoyed by dry wit and colorful, tuneful, retro musical interludes. Cleveland revival premiere. Mandarin with subtitles. 95 min.
