Review of Dead Ringers (1988) by Nelson M — 26 Jun 2012
Dead Ringers has one of Jeremy Irons' greatest performances of all time as both Mantle brothers. This is among one of David Cronenberg's greatest works which is incredibly disturbing and, at the same time, very sympathetic.
We feel for the Mantle twins despite their weirdness, but as the film goes on we spiral into a world of sheer madness. A great film on the nature of duality and the horrors of twins has to offer.This film is incredibly smart and deep in it's portrayal and handling, not to mention one of the more depressing depictions in film history.
A must see film.
