   Amusingly, this movie also has a "double": Enemy (2013) with Jake Gyllenhaal. Currently both movies have almost identical ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and icheckmovies. Spooky! 9 years 7 months ago

   Richard Ayoade's The Double, based on the Dostoyevsky novella about a bureaucrat who meets his perfect physical double, a man social and charismatic in all the ways he is not, and who proceeds to steal his life. It's absurdist existentialism and doesn't hinge on some Fight Club-esque plot twist, though it certainly explores a similar theme. Jesse Eisenberg does an excellent job as both Simon James and James Simon, by turns funny and sinister. Ayoade creates a world I can only describe as Kafkapunk, something that could be part of the same universe as Terry Gilliam's Brazil or Soderberg's Kafka. A parallel reality where the Eastern Bloc designed your cubicle. 8 years 10 months ago
