Elliot, a successful gynecologist, works at the same practice as his identical twin, Beverly. 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, but when she inadvertently deceives him, he slips into a state of madness.

very david cronenberg. a psychosexual oddity that dissects eroded sibling - namely twin - relationships.

Ok movie. 30 min shorter wouldve had the same or better effect. Irons is great, not a fan of the girl though. Maybe the show streamlines it.

Cronenberg, yes. Jeremy irons, yes. Doppelgangers, yes. But mainly the perverse joy of the awful tray of sadistic gynecological implements..

Jeremy Irons does a fantastic job in dual roles. The story is unnerving & suspenseful with a touch of humanity involved as well.

Irons and Cronenberg. Who cares what it’s about. That being said it is a fantastic film based on a true story. Watch rinse repeat.

Creative, if not a little disturbing concept. Dark and odd through to the very end with a great dual performance.

I didn't think Cronenberg had a stranger flick than Naked Lunch. A film where to story had me so invested I didn't wanna blink.

Amazing performances and a very intriguing story makes this Cronenberg film a must-see.
