Reviews for The Landlord

Trailer

5.6 / 10 1h 52min

At the age of twenty-nine, Elgar Enders "runs away" from home. This running away consists of buying a building in a black ghetto in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. Initially, his intention is to evict the black tenants and convert the building into a posh flat. But Elgar is not one to be bound by yesterday's urges, and soon he has other thoughts on his mind.

It's unlikely this satirical comedy-drama would be made today.

A small gem in a sea of early 1970s mediocrity; but not a comedy
