Invasion of the spider body snatchers?

Enemy (2013)

Directed by Denis Villeneuve this film inspired by the novel The Double by Jose Saramago stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Melanie Laurent and Sarah Gadon. A history professor discovers there is an actor that looks exactly like him and becomes obsessed with meeting him.

Leaving behind a web of confusion this film offers little in the way of explanation leaving you scratching your head which is good or bad depending on what you like. Interpreting this slow burning, Kafka style film might not even be possible but it is certainly interesting and unnerving to say the least. The performance from Gyllenhaal is really good and you will find yourself asking plenty of questions after seeing this film.


5/5
