English title: Common Wealth.
Synopsis: A realtor decides, along with her husband, to sleep over at one of the apartments she is trying to sell. A series of incidents leads her to a fortune which was hidden in a dead man's apartment in the same building. The only problem is that the other dwellers of the building know about the money and they don't take long to find out that she has it.
Appraisal: This film suffers from the same problems of this director's other films, only in a smaller scale, it seemed to me. The problems I am referring to are a certain amount of triteness in the situations he devises, a few of which he uses repeatedly, and the complete absence of subtlety to express the characters' feelings or thoughts. But this time around I think he has a sufficiently interesting premise and a sufficiently variegated array of characters and situations to sustain the viewer's interest until the end. Don't expect much insight or refinement though.
