DEAD RINGERS, 1992

Canada, ABD | DCP, Color, 116' | English
Director: David Cronenberg
Cast: Jeremy Irons, Geneviève Bujold, Heidi von Palleske

The lives of twin gynecologists bound by mutual dependence begin to unravel when they fall in love with the same woman. Following a brief Hollywood period, David Cronenberg returns to more personal and unsettling territory with this adaptation of Bari Wood and Jack Geasland’s novel Twins. Bringing together clinical distance and emotional intensity, the film examines the relationship between body and identity, tracing the disintegration of the brothers’ symbiotic bond. Jeremy Irons’s dual performance is central to the film’s tension.
