The Landlords

2002 · 90 min

A wry, misanthropic ensemble comedy that observes petty cruelties with dry detachment, more smirk than laugh.

Directed by
Rémi Waterhouse
Genres
Comedy
Starring
Grégori Derangère, Irène Jacob, Jean-Pierre Darroussin
Overview
Directed by Rémi Waterhouse, Mille Millièmes is centered around an eccentric ensemble of apartment residents. Kindness is noticeably absent among their quarters, as demonstrated by a dating pair of neighbors whose request to have their apartments connected was flatly denied. To make matters worse, beggars gathering at a charity event are cruelly tormented by various tenants during the Christmas season. Last but not least is the Portuguese concierge whose services are in danger of being replaced by a more cost-effective alternative, and a widow whose recent loss earns her no sympathy from the rent-demanding landlords.
