Review of Dead Ringers (1988) by Peter A — 10 Jul 2009
"Cronenberg" is enough to get me to watch anything, but this could be the height of his psychosexual phase and possibly the greatest justification for psychoanalytic criticism ever made. That just don't sit well with me.
You want synopsis? How about: male construction of female (and by extension, of self) by obstetric examination. One mutant womb+two confused twins=jeremy irons doing spader with a mirror. Certainly that makes it less good, but it remains undeniably captivating.
