a combo of art film in more ways than one, psychological thriller, heist movie, and survival tale all rolled into one in which Dafoe’s Nemo is center stage, alone, the entire time.

What seems like a fairly cut and dry job for this thief becomes a fight for survival when a mechanical failure traps him inside its doors, his cronies hanging up on him, and no escape visible or as he finds out, evenOf course he panics, initially tries everything, pounding on doors, calling for help, even watching the security camera images for signs of life outside. That will include a cleaning woman, a guard, but no way to get their attention.

This is the kind of movie that is hard to describe as it is simply a one man show, a human being who finds himself in unwanted and extraordinary circumstances in a place that on the surface many people would love to live in themselves. It is a world defined by art, and the apartment is as much a character in it as Nemo. We even can understand the personality of the unknown and unseen person who “lives” there just through his vast collection of art.

This would be a great role for any actor, but Dafoe seems right on so many levels , taking us into a fight for his life in a weird setting that puts him in a sort of twilight zone. It is also a role with little dialogue, mostly acted silently in addition to those moments where he talks to himself.
