Villeneuve and Jake Gyllenhaal reunite for this moodily absurdist adaptation of José Saramago’s The Double that if anything actually deepens the possibilities explored in the novel.
Jake Gyllenhaal gives one of his best performances to date as both Adam, a reserved and humorless history professor, and Anthony, a more animated and cocksure bit-part actor who catches the academic’s eye on screen due to his alarming resemblance to him. So begins Adam’s obsessive journey to confront his doppelgänger face to face. With this provocative existential thriller, and second collaboration, Villeneuve and Gyllenhaal scored again, this time with a moodily absurdist adaptation of José Saramago’s The Double that if anything actually deepens the possibilities explored in the novel.
