Dead Ringers
Elliot (Jeremy Irons), a successful gynecologist, works at the same practice as his identical twin, Beverly (also Irons). Elliot is attracted to many of his patients and has affairs with them. When he inevitably loses interest, he will give the woman over to Beverly, the meeker of the two, without the woman knowing the difference. Beverly falls hard for one of the patients, Claire (Geneviève Bujold), but when she inadvertently deceives him, he slips into a state of madness.
DEAD RINGERS swept the 1989 Genie Awards, taking home 11 trophies including Best Canadian Film, Director, and Actor.
"Cronenberg turns this based-on-fact story into a genuine creep show." (Film Frenzy)
"A sensitive yet intellectually robust work." (Eye For Film)
"Irons gives a highly accomplished performance in a chilly knife-swapping psychodrama that remains among the director's leanest, meanest releases." (Film4)

DEAD RINGERS (David Cronenberg, 1988 / 115 mins / 18A) Elliot and Beverly are world-renowned gynaecologists and identical twins. Both are troubled by the seemingly unbreakable bond between them as they share everything from their clinic to their women - until they meet Claire. Whilst Elliot enjoys seducing her, Beverly falls in love and wishes to break away from his brother in order to become closer to her. However, as his attempt to love unravels, so does his sanity and it becomes apparent that the twins are bonded by madness as well as blood.
