French psychological thriller is based on the true story of a Parisian Jewish couple who unknowingly sold basement space to a neo-Nazi antisemite, and fought for years to evict him
The Man in the Basement opens on January 27 in New York to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day and will soon be shown around the US (and eventually, one would hope, in Israel)
Philippe Le Guay's "The Man in the Basement" effectively infuses the tenant-from-hell genre with deeper meaning via a Holocaust denier and conspiracy theorist.
This nebulous French thriller tracks the unraveling of a Jewish family that accidentally sells their storage cellar to an antisemitic conspiracy theorist.
