Plot

Identical twin gynaecologists share everything until a woman and drugs drive them apart.

Sinekatalog’s take

David Cronenberg's twin-gynaecologist drama is cold, clinical and deeply unsettling. Jeremy Irons gives a remarkable double performance, and the film's gloom and surgical imagery are unforgettable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
