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 it 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. He's grown fond of the black tenants and particularly of Fanny, the wife of a black radical; he's maybe fallen in love with Lanie, a mixed race girl; he's lost interest in redecorating his home. Joyce, his mother has not relinquished this interest and in one of the film's most hilarious sequences gives her Master Charge card to Marge, a black tenant and appoints her decorator.

Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by J. HobermanOne of the funniest social comedies of its period.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Steven BooneWith so many brilliant collaborators and points of view, whose movie—whose dream—is it anyway? Ashby seems to say it’s all of ours.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn uneven comedy of manners that bears checking out for its on the money painfully poignant moments.
The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Keith PhippsThe film captures a moment, playfully but without losing sight of the stakes, when the hot political temperatures of the late ’60s and early ’70s made change of one kind or another look inevitable.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom HuddlestonThe Landlord succeeds thanks to terrific performances, political nous, flawless photography from Gordon Willis, a handful of sublimely witty moments and an overall sense of rebellious fun.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertInstead of staying on that safe, predictable level, it begins to dig into the awkwardness and hypocrisy of our commonly shared, attitudes about race.
The Telegraph - 8/10 by Tim RobeyIt holds up as terrifically fresh and constantly enjoyable, thanks to the collision of two social milieus that American cinema rarely puts side by side.
New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelThe dialogue is crisp and often quite startling, and though the editing may be a little too showy and jumpy, the picture has originality and depth, and it’s full of sharp, absurdist humor.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffBeau Bridges heads the uniformly excellent cast as a bored rich youth who buys a black ghetto apartment building and learns something about life.
The Guardian - 8/10 by John PattersonA still wonderfully penetrating, wise and exact meditation on race relations at the end of the 1960s.
