omg SO SASS OF u
This does not place in my top 3 favourite Croenenberg films but this is without a doubt, an extraordinary piece of cinema. It's haunting, thought provoking and visceral.
Ottimo lavoro di Cronenberg basato sulla psicologia di due gemelli di successo interpretati da un Irons splendido.Angoscia e riflessione si fondono così come si fonde la mente e lo spirito dei due protagonisti.Morbosità,drammaticità e conseguente delirio,suggellati da una fotografia tendente al cupo e dal solito grandioso stile del regista:i disegni degli arnesi ne sono un esempio lampante.Solito alto livello.4*
A brilliant film about many, many things; love, sex, ethics, science, brotherhood, drugs, madness... to name just a few themes. Absolutely astonishing how Cronenberg keeps it all in focus.
Jeremy Irons delivers one of the best performances I've ever seen and the story of the film itself is beautiful, disturbing and compelling. One of the best Cronenberg films I've seen yet.
Jeremy Irons' performance is so gripping and pitch-perfect. The most disturbing part about the film is the amount of compassion you often feel for the twins, as twisted as they are. Rivals "Crash" in its poetry and grace. 9.4/10
Jesus... I think I'll need at least 6 months to recover from that one. However, it's traumatizingly good. Just incredible. Cronenberg is probably the best horror film director, and the most intelligent.
A cinematic tool for operating on mutant humans, Dead Ringers pulls Janus through a fallopian Cerberus before consigning him to the furnace via hypodermic Cyclops and psychopathia sexualis. Insides out, if you please.
FINALLY got to see this film today, and it was FAR beyond my expectations (which were already high, it is Cronenberg). This is a captivating film that while gaving the usual surreal elements, gives a very true look into the world of addiction, with what is probably the most original spin on the lifestyle that I have ever seen. As has been said, and will be said again, Jeremy Irons double role as Elliott and beverly.
Jeremy Irons gives what I believe to be his most impressive performance in one of the weirdest and most disturbing films I've seen. Excellent, but recommended with caution.
Não aqui body horror, nem terror de qualquer espécie. É um drama excelente, com algumas partes perturbadoras - os dois irmãos entram numa espiral de adicção a prescription drugs que os leva à insanidade e ao clímax da perturbação mental. Não é bem o que se esperaria do Cronenberg, sendo mais convencional (mas apenas dentro do espectro de demência do homem, ainda há réstias de paranóia aqui).
Fantastic, horrifying, creepy, twisted, tragic, beautiful. I'm not sure which movie I like better, Videodrome or this one, but there's no doubt that Dead Ringers is one of Cronenberg's best!
