Thanks Seanc . Double indemnity was my latest veiwing from the top10 (and the one I had been postponing the longest), it has probably the best visual directing I've seen from Wilder and quite close to The apartment in terms of writing quality. So while my adoration for that one is too strong to be defeated, I would probably pick this as Wilder's most complete movie.
Stalker is a kind of long postponed work as well, but actually because I intended to explore the work of Tarkovsky in chronological order... I couldn't do this in the end, but that stopped me from watching this and Solaris (not yet seen) for a while. I am glad that I could finally watch it and get sucked into its superb atmosphere. It is no doubt a rich and complex film I'll enjoy even more in rewatch.
To be honest, and I'm kind of a fan of Roman Polanski's movies, Venus in fur flew under my radar for a long while. I didn't pay any attention to the director since I first grew an interest on Carnage at the time of its airing, though I couldn't see it in theaters (and by the way, watched it a month ago, and this time I was quite underwhelmed). For some reason Venus in fur didn't catch my interest at the time and I even forgot it existed. It turned to be a wonderful piece and its strong sexual tension and claustrophobic atmosphere throughout reminded me of the apartment trilogy.
