Enemy

Voilà ce qui arrive quand on joue à Lynch et à Kafka en même temps. Je me suis forcé à regarder parce que je voulais savoir comment le tout aller se terminer. Mais la fin se passe de commentaires. Heureusement, l’ensemble est sauvé par Mélanie, puis Sarah n’était pas non plus désagréable à regarder. Mais Lynch, il n’y en a qu’un ! (10/02/2018)

Transfert mental que seuls Shutter Island, Femme Fatale et les meilleurs films de Lynch ont réussi à transmettre dans le passé. Captivant, glaçant, visionnaire d'un autre monde. Une frappe au coeur. Merci, Monsieur Villeneuve. (30/03/2015)

I felt downright disappointed immediately after the screening. Unlike other films with unsatisfactory and unclear endings, Enemy woke in me a desire to know what is really hiding in the back. And the more I think back about it, the better I find it. In any case, it’s been long since a film messed with my head so much. (22/03/2014)

An intimate, also very abstract movie told in hints. Villeneuve is doing what he does well and leads the viewer through an industrial city to a room where somebody is taking a bath in the dark. The door opens, he takes you inside and then disappears, leaving you there with all your questions and fears... time to die? Gyllenhaal 1 awesome, Gyllenhaal 2 a real swine. Chaos is order yet undeciphered. (25/04/2014)

After I saw Sicario, I started believing that Denis Villeneuve was a genius among contemporary directors. So, when his movie Enemy, which received mixed reviews, was said to appear on TV, I didn’t hesitate a single moment. The fuckup is that when I was watching it for the first time, I totally dozed off and I had to catch the rest the next day. Enemy is no simple movie. And the first 30 minutes even more so. At first sight, nothing seems to be happening. After watching the final scene, however, you will feel as if everything happened in it because you won’t understand anything in the movie at all. Generally speaking, however, I think that this might be the worst movie with a deranged character, who on top of everything suffers from a split personality. Such stories rarely disappoint, but this one disappointed me quite a bit. (22/11/2015)
