The Double (2013)



A clerk in a government agency finds his unenviable life takes a turn for the horrific with the arrival of a new co-worker who is both his exact physical double and his opposite - confident, charismatic and seductive with women.

A quite liberal retelling of Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic in a steampunk-like world, dark, surreal and spiced with black humor; reminiscent of both Brazil and Le locataire.
