What exactly "a man apart" mean, or when is this formula used?
I know that there is a movie with "A man apart" in its title, but I have the feeling that it can be used in some situations, maybe when somebydy is left alone in a hard situation?
Answer
I agree with FumbleFingers.
It's figurative usage, describing the man as distinct from his peers, but without qualifying exactly why - so as to make him appear intriguing.
The title alludes to an unknown story, which of course helps ticket sales because people are drawn to find out why he is "apart."
