"It is almost Dostoevsky, not a reproduction of the novella, but i think really captures the spirit. (update and perfectly in line with Richard Ayoade's sense of humour and style. Ayoade describes his humour as enjoying "a swing and a miss" [when we really expect the swing and a hit]). The double is sort of train-wreck tragic-comedy that can raise lots of questions about neuroticism, personality, and whether it's healthy to be normal in an insane society. Beautifully done. We can either despair or laugh. #greatmovie #greatacting #greatdirecting #underappreciated #underrated #psychological #hiddengems "
"I wouldn’t let the details fool the reader, this is based off of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novella “The Double”. This is a movie rich in symbolism according to the director in an interview that can be found YouTube.

This is similar to how the black and white film “persona” was directed in the year 1966 (English subs) "
