Movie info a young college girl dianne hull wakes up in a mental institution after she inadvertently overdoses on drugs at a disco.

A woman inherits a rent controlled apartment and is terrorized by a neighbor. The fifth floor is a 1978 american film about a sane woman who gets sent to an asylum. Directed by josh klausner. While there she battles unscrupulous and apathetic doctors and staff and still manages to teach her fellow inmates the latest disco dance moves.

The story about a go go dancer railroaded into an asylum is based on a truly horrifying premise. Unable to convince the doctors of her sanity she must struggle. The film focuses on ruth and alex carver diane keaton and morgan freeman an older couple looking to sell their old fashioned brooklyn apartment through their real estate agent lilly cynthia nixon. The fifth floor turned out to be an engaging film that deserves more credit than what is given.

This was considered one of those movies you re not supposed to watch when you re young and because of the adult nature in terms of what can happen on a psychiatric ward of a hospital i can see why. Under certain circumstances everything you say or do can be interpreted as a sign of madness. The woman in the fifth french title la femme du vème is a 2011 french british polish drama film directed and written by paweł pawlikowski. It stars dianne hull bo hopkins and mel ferrer.
