Film: Dead Ringers – Screening + intro by David Cronenberg & Howard Shore

David Cronenberg’s multi award-winning psychological thriller exploring the bizarre lives of identical twins Elliot and Beverly, both played by Jeremy Irons.

Brilliant twin gynaecologists, Beverly and Elliot Mantle, specialise in fertility and share everything, often pretending to be each other. When Claire (Geneviève Bujold), an actress, arrives for treatment, Elliot pretends to be Beverly and seduces Claire – the start of a haunting and disturbing story of passion, addiction and a time-bomb of confusion and despair. 

Featuring a towering performance by Jeremy Irons as both twins, Dead Ringers is a bleak but exhilarating masterpiece. 

This screening will be introduced by director David Cronenberg and composer Howard Shore.
