...Gyllenhaal, a very talented actor in most circumstances, here does exceptional work playing two men who are almost—but not quite—identical.

This is brilliant, daring filmmaking that calls to mind the heyday of David Lynch and, post-Incendies and Prisoners, confirms Villeneuve as one of cinema’s most compelling new voices.

At forsøge at opsummere plottet i ’Enemy’ vil suge al magi ud af oplevelsen, og selv efter andet gennemsyn er jeg ærligt talt stadig meget i tvivl...

Gyllenhall com sempre magistral. La història en alguns punts es torna una mica feble però realment val la pena veure-la.

...Gyllenhaal er intet mindre end fænomenal i en bipolar dobbeltpræstation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Enemy about? Toggle content

Enemy is a thought-provoking and visually stunning thriller that explores the concept of identity and the fragility of human relationships. The film follows Adam Bell, a mild-mannered college professor who leads a monotonous life, until he discovers his exact look-alike, Anthony Claire, in an old film. Obsessed with the idea of having a double, Adam sets out to find Anthony and soon discovers that they share more than just their appearance. As their lives become intertwined, strange and unsettling events unfold, threatening to destroy their sense of self and their relationships with those around them. The film features Jake Gyllenhaal in a dual role as both Adam and Anthony, delivering two distinct yet equally captivating performances. Mélanie Laurent plays Mary, Adam's girlfriend who becomes entangled in the enigmatic web of events. Sarah Gadon stars as Helen Claire, Anthony's pregnant wife who shares an unsettling connection with Adam. Isabella Rossellini makes a brief but memorable appearance as Mother, adding another layer of depth to the intricate plot. Enemy is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Arrival), who masterfully weaves together elements of psychological thrillers and mystery dramas to create a mesmerizing universe where nothing is as it seems. The screenplay by Javier Gullón (Perfect Strangers) skillfully adapts José Saramago's novel "The Double" into a gripping cinematic experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat until its haunting conclusion.
