Sexy and hypnotically surreal psychological thriller that breathes new life into the doppelgänger tradition. Adam Bell (Gyllenhaal) is a glum, dishevelled history professor. Watching a movie on the recommendation of a colleague, Adam spots his double, a bit-part actor named Anthony Clair, and decides to track him down. The identical men meet and their lives become bizarrely and irrevocably intertwined. With masterfully controlled attention to detail, Villeneuve takes us on an enigmatic and gripping journey through a world that is both familiar and strange
