Overview
About the Film
Enemy is a 2014 Canadian psychological thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve, based on José Saramago's 2002 novel The Double. Jake Gyllenhaal plays dual roles as Adam Bell, a depressed history professor in Toronto, and Anthony Claire, a minor film actor who is Adam's exact physical double. When Adam discovers Anthony's existence in the background of a movie, he becomes obsessed with tracking down his doppelgänger, and their meeting triggers a surreal, anxiety-drenched narrative in which the two men's lives begin to merge and the boundaries between identity, desire, and nightmare dissolve.
The film's final image — a giant spider crouching in a room — was one of the most discussed and debated endings in modern cinema. Enemy earned $4 million worldwide on a $3.5 million budget but has developed a passionate cult following among viewers who relish its ambiguity.
