Denis Villeneuve knows the truth: Spiders are evil. When Adam finds the actor, whose real name is Anthony, Enemy develops a fork in the narrative path and we witness the dual storylines unfold from that point on. Physically, though, the two are nearly indistinguishable, since Gyllenhaal wears the same bearded look for both roles, only providing some visual division in their differing wardrobes. In terms of personality, Anthony exudes a brusque confidence that Adam probably wishes he had. The score by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans causes a blanket of dread to cover almost every scene, so the screws of tension are turned tight at all times. So where do the spiders come into all of this? Well, just about everywhere. At one point, the camera glides across the ceiling, looking down at Adam from a menacingly unusual angle.

It features lots of female nudity, including one full-frontal shot, plus some creepy sexual imagery and the suggestion of women performing sex acts for men to watch. There are also several sex…. The movie is so surreal and elusive that any messages are buried deep within. Perhaps: "curiosity killed the cat"? Other themes will be up for discussion. The movie more or less shows two sides of one person, one aggressive and confident, and the other meek and sad. Neither is particularly admirable, though the movie could spark discussion about the different sides of our own personalities.

Trailer Lastly Adam and Anthony have the exact same photo with Helen. Where does the movie take place? Gyllenhaal invests such seamless separate personalities into Adam and Anthony that they truly feel like two individual men. As he enters the bedroom, he sees, instead of Helen, a room-sized tarantula cowering against the rear wall. Bad luck if you did not like the film the first time around and the post production grading of dark yellow, teal, murky brown that I found so off putting. He inhabits his two characters very well, slipping into Adam's despondent skin as easily as he finds Anthony's brash confidence. There is a lot of image trickery and a lot of guessing. There is a lot of confusion about the film and what the spiders represent, was there really 2 Jakes or were they the same guy? It really is an explosive yet very contained performance that I feel needs a lot of recognition. Share this page:. MacDonald John MacLean Featured review. Al's Top Rated Films:

Security Guard Darryl Dinn Throughout the movie you see spiders, spiders represent his affair with Mary, and how he still thinks about it, and when you see Adam with Mary he really isn't its just representing his still lasting feelings for her. I'm fine with not able to explain it myself. He tracks the actor down, Anthony also Gyllenhaal , and discovers they're physically identical in every way. It must have ended up on the cutting room floor, so to speak. Videos 8. Once you do think back through it, I would say that it is perhaps not as smart or as subtle as it would like to think itself, but it does still work thanks to some good ideas in fragmenting the flow of time through the narrative but mostly keeping this to itself and also making it pretty clear that it is not a straight piece as the one-line pitch would suggest. Anyone looking for easy answers or a clear message will be disappointed. He sees Adam's girlfriend, Mary Melanie Laurent , whom he finds attractive. It doesn't plunge into sci-fi territory, suggesting they're clones; nor does it dip into the melodrama of hinting that they might be twins separated at birth. But let's backtrack a little bit and let me rather start with an advice. As a presence the film is engaging in its mystery but while it entices you to work out what is happening, it is better to be thinking about what it all means, since this is a film or allegory more than action. The movie's was perfectly fine as a piece of head-scratcher entertainment. We learn he left aside his dreams for his wife six months without visiting the acting agency, six months pregnant.
