Dead Ringers

DramaHorrorThriller116 min

Identical twin gynecologists Elliot and Beverly Mantle share a Toronto practice, an apartment, and, in secret, the same women, with Jeremy Irons inhabiting both the polished Elliot and the more fragile Beverly. Their arrangement begins to unravel when Beverly becomes involved with actress Claire Niveau; Geneviève Bujold gives Claire an elusive, destabilizing presence. Directed by David Cronenberg, the film turns the twins’ intimacy, professional control, and dependence into an increasingly clinical portrait of obsession.
