Trivia
Most of the movie takes place in the wedge-shaped building located at the corner of Boulevard Saint-Michel and Avenue de l'Observatorie, in Paris. Note, however, that the building looks different in the early top-down shot of the main character running from one end of the roof to the other. That is because the building in real life does not have an open rooftop. The rooftop in the top-down shot was digitally superimposed onto the real-life building. And the other rooftop scenes were shot on an entirely different building. (Also, in real life, the building is much larger than it would seem from that digital superimposition.)

Goofs
When Sam is talking to the zombie trapped in the elevator, his right hand is bandaged. However, he does not injure his hand until he ventures outside several scenes later to try to rescue the stray cat, suggesting that the scenes were spliced into the film in the wrong order.

So boring it must be art

A man gets caught in an apartment as the zombie apocalypse kicks off. He is safe, but alone.

Now I would start of by saying this is very well made. The production, camera work and acting is all great. I quite like it when films shrink down the scope to a few rooms. I like everything about this film, except having to sit through it.

The underlying themes of this film is companionship and boredom. The film demonstrates this very well. But in doing so makes for a very lonely, boring film.

Watching a man slowly lose his mind from loneliness is not particularity engaging.

There is no survival aspect, no action.

This is a very quiet, considered, hipster film. There is nothing wrong with that and I am glad the people who enjoyed it, enjoyed it. I can see why they did, but this is not the experience I want when I put a zombie movie on.
