Inside wastes a great premise on dreary execution.
for ultrahigh-end properties — but it’s the emotional truth of the situation that matters more. In a place where it’s an ongoing struggle to maintain the barest toehold, the idea of not just having vast amounts of space but letting it sit unused is decadent on a dizzying, infuriating level.
It’s a waste of a premise, and that premise is a great one. The midtown apartment that Nemo breaks into is a temple of brutalist tastefulness with floor-to-ceiling windows, gray interiors adorned with contemporary art, and an indoor pool that becomes useful when he discovers the water is turned off.
breaking the climate system so that the temperature rockets between extreme heat and cold, making it so that neither the elaborate greenery nor the tropical fish require caretakers stopping by, and having the building be so impeccably insulated that neither screaming nor flooding can penetrate through to even the foyer outside the front door.
Nemo is surrounded by million-dollar artwork but has to drink from the sprinkler system and can’t flush his gradually accruing shits down the toilet. This contrast is not as profound asseems to believe it is, in part because all of that carefully chosen artwork, sealed away from the public in a private collection high above the heads of the public, never comes across as anything more than expensive décor.
