Fluid Dynamics: Displacement in Billy Wilder's 'The Apartment'
Billy Wilder's most savage of American comedies 'The Apartment', skewers corporate culture and patriarchal structures while challenging viewers to read its spills and overflows as more than just accidents. The Apartment doesn’t emerge from the plot so much as what it avoids. Where Some Like It Hot chases desire by avoiding death (at the hands of the Mob), The Apartment courts death by avoiding sex.
