In this spellbinding adaptation of José Saramogo’s The Double, Adam (Jake Gyllenhaal) finds himself questioning everything about his life when he discovers Anthony, an actor who looks and sounds exactly like him (also Jake Gyllenhaal). He becomes obsessed with finding out more about his doppelganger, and the two men’s lives soon begin to become dangerously intertwined.

This fascinating mystery was nominated for ten Canadian Screen Awards, winning five, including Best Director for Denis Villeneuve.

“Enemy operates on a level of carefully calibrated unease, where the very elusiveness of motivation and logic is exploited for purposes of sustained cinematic disorientation.” — Geoff Pevere, The Globe and Mail
