The Story
Product Description
Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska star in writer/director Richard
Ayoade's adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novella about a man who
goes insane after the appearance of his doppelgänger. Quiet, unassuming
office employee Simon (Eisenberg) goes unnoticed at work, is ridiculed
by his own mother and lacks the confidence to attract the attention of
his dream girl Hannah (Wasikowska). His new colleague James (Eisenberg)
is Simon's double in appearance but is his exact opposite in terms of
personality, being full of confidence and charisma. When James begins
to take over his life, Simon's mental health becomes increasingly
fragile. The cast also features Wallace Shawn, Noah Taylor, Sally
Hawkins, Chris O'Dowd and Paddy Considine.
