I find Dostoevsky's plot so visionary, yet anchored to a very real issue of all times. Still, something's missing in this movie. I really care about the topic of people being depersonalized nowadays, but I would have built a different context, since the one chosen here is clearly not easy to understand for everyone. That's why I guess too many people didn't give a chance to this movie. And this is a shame, considering how depersonalization is a pressing problem!

It was a good watch, it's interesting but that's about it. I'm familiar with these kind of movies the likes of Enemy, Nocturnal Animals, and Donnie Darko. The thing is these movies immerses you into a bizarre world and it's really hard to make sense of anything and that's the drawback. The message is hidden in a subtle way for you to decipher, you need time to understand, you need time to research. It is bad because it is mentally demanding but that is also what makes it beautiful.

Oh I might have found the weirdest film currently on HBO. I both love and hate it already. This could be a masterpiece. It’s just frustrating to watch. There are no special people. Only people. And I guess sometimes they steal faces and sometimes they don’t exist. Because they’re not in the system.

Since everyone is checking Godzilla this weekend I decided to counter the wave and I went to the theater to see The Double which I'm interested about since I've heard of it.

Richard Ayoade is very peculiar as a director. In The Double, similar with what he did in Submarine, he proves again More

Richard Ayoade is a very talented man. He's a funny comic and a good director. His first feature, 'Submarine' was a lovely tale about handling the harsh realities of being young. 'The double', however is basically a retelling of Dostoyevsky's novel. It's also a bit of a h More

I have not read the book so i have no idea if Richard Ayoade took more liberties than he should but quite like submarine he managed to tell a story i found really compelling. The outstanding thing after watching his films is the sense of realness he puts in his characters, and both in submarine and More
