The story of office drone Simon James. Most of his co-workers, including the object of his affections Hannah, don’t even remember his name. When his doppelganger James Simon joins the company, James is as socially adept as Simon is inept and he is a rapid social and corporate climber.

Our take
In this contemporary retelling of Dostoyevsky’s classic existential novella, writer-director Richard Ayoade (Submarine) riddles out his own uniquely-stylized interpretation of this dark tragicomedy of devious dopplengangers and psychosocial alienation. Starring Mia Wasikowska and Jesse Eisenberg.
