Enemy Mime
and Dead Ringers Enemy Mime (snicker) is a bit simple and corny, but I found it far more dramatically accessible (emotionally/intellectually) than Out of Africa. I was in the middle of my artsy high-drama kick when I saw Out of Africa, and oh my, it sure came off "literary" to me when I saw it, and that's not a good thing. The fun description is "glacial pacing". Night of the Demons and Dead Ringers... you know, love or hate it. For film, nine times out of ten, I prefer story-art over art-story. The story, craft, and performance of Jeremy Irons (Dead Ringers) was excellent. Film was won many awards, but then again, Out of Africa won bigger ones. Demons had more fame, but the 'nightmare that makes no sense' isn't my bag. (Dead Ringers won the Genie Award for Best Canadian Film of 1988. Jeremy Irons' performance was highly acclaimed and won Best Actor awards from the Chicago Film Critics Association and the New York Film Critics Circle. When Irons won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1991 for Reversal of Fortune, he thanked Cronenberg in his acceptance speech.[5] The film was nominated for the Grand Prix of the Belgian Syndicate of Cinema Critics. It is the favorite Cronenberg film of Korean director Chan-wook Park[6] and was voted for in the 2002 Sight and Sound Poll by Lalitha Gopalan.[7] In 1999, Rolling Stone listed Dead Ringers as 95th on their list of 100 Maverick Movies.[8] Total Film placed Dead Ringers 35th on their list of the "50 Greatest Horror Movies Of All Time"[9] while Entertainment Weekly placed it 20th on their list of The 25 scariest movies of all time.[10] In 2004, the Toronto International Film Festival Group named Dead Ringers the 6th best Canadian Film ever made.[11] It was named one of "The Top 10 'True-Story' Horror Movies of All-time!" by Bloody Disgusting.[12])

For some reason, Dead Ringers has always been my least favorite Cronenberg film. It just didn't click for me.

For me, I have to be in the mood to see a film like Dead Ringers. I think it takes one to task, and if you're not in the mood for crossword puzzle, it's taxing. And an actor playing two roles, and it's not comedy... that's gonna fall on one or the other side of the fence.
