Released in 1976, this is the third film of Polanski's so-called "Apartment Trilogy", following ''Film/{{Repulsion}}'' and ''Film/RosemarysBaby''. It is also the last film he made prior to his arrest and conviction for statutory rape, and his subsequent flight from justice (and from the United States), a year later.

Trelkovsky (Polanski) has moved into a Paris apartment, where the previous tenant committed suicide by leaping to her death. Now, he's starting to think his new neighbors are trying to push him to the same act. As for the audience... well, we don't know ''what'' to think.

to:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Trelkovsky.Trelkovsky is a quiet and unassuming man at first, but once he starts having his strange occurrences, he proves to be quite capable at snapping at anyone.

* CreepyCrossDresser: The female wig CreepyCrossdresser: Trelkovsky ends up getting made up as a woman. It certainly looks creepy on Trelkovsky.him.



%%* LookBothWays
* MindScrew: Hell yeah! The protagonist observes increasingly weird events, including his neighbors standing in the toilet for hours, the toilet covered with Egyptian hieroglyphs, his neighbors playing football with a human head, and a double of himself standing at his apartment window. It is never made clear how much of this is a result of SanitySlippage and how much is actually real.

trilogy") is that the strange events take place in a mundane setting (an apartment building) and some of them, while weird, are in the realm of possibility (like his neighbors standing in the toilet for hours), although things get progressively weird as the film progresses.

* SingleIssueLandlord: Just don't make noise.

to:

* SanitySlippage: Hell ''yes!''
The protagonist gradually goes off his rails, believing that his neighbors are conspiring against him. It is never clarified whether it was all a delusion, or something sinister is really going on at the apartment complex.
* SingleIssueLandlord: Just For Trelkovsky's landlord, Monsieur Zy, just don't make noise.
