Enemy Blu-ray Posted November 18, 2014 05:24 PM by



British distributors Curzon Film World/Artificial Eye will release on Blu-ray acclaimed Canadian director Denis Villeneuve's latest film, Enemy (2013). Based on José Saramago's novel, Enemy stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), Mélanie Laurent (The Round Up), Sarah Gadon (Cosmopolis), and Isabella Rossellini (Blue Velvet). Street date is February 9, 2015.



Official synopsis: Jake Gyllenhaal reteams with his Prisoners director, Denis Villeneuve, in this sexy and hypnotically surreal psychological thriller that breathes new life into the doppleganger tradition. Adam Bell (Gyllenhaal) is a glum, disheveled history professor, who seems disinterested even his beautiful girlfriend, Mary (Laurent). Watching a movie on the recommendation of a colleague, Adam spots his double, a bit-part actor named Anthony Clair, and decides to track him down. The identical men meet and their lives become bizarrely and irrevocably intertwined. Gyllenhaal is transfixing as both Adam and Anthony, provoking empathy as well as disapproval while embodying two distinct personas. With masterfully controlled attention to detail, Villeneuve takes us on an enigmatic and gripping journey through a world that is both familiar and strange  and hard to shake off long after its final, unnerving image.

Top contributor rapta Nov 18, 2014 EXCELLENT. Earlier today was worried they'd put it back to March or April but glad they're sticking with their original release date for this one. Curzon are starting to cover some of my favourite releases of recent years, especially titles from North American auteurs that are usually otherwise kept to DVD over blu-ray - films like Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell, David Gordon Green's Joe and now this. They've also got Gordon Green's next film Manglehorn coming out in the new year! I'd love to see them (or somebody else) put out some further Villeneuve films - I really enjoyed Incendies, Prisoners and Enemy and would like to see his earlier films that aren't available in the UK to date. Rayodoom Nov 18, 2014 The amount of time this film has taken to hit the UK is a disgrace. Luckily I have an all region player and a copy of the U.S. bluray. I even bought the German bluray (region B) for the fantastic packaging.
