Adam is an undistinguished university lecturer who is nearing the end of a relationship with his girlfriend Mary. One night, while watching a film, Adam spots a minor actor who looks just like him. Consumed by the desire to meet his double, Adam tracks down Anthony, an actor living with his pregnant wife Helen, and engages him in a complex and dangerous struggle.

"I consider Enemy to be, in a curious way, my most personal project to date. It’s a film about the power of the subconscious, a subject that deeply concerns me because it has such a strong influence on our personal lives and a real impact on society in general. If you aren’t aware of this force and its side effects, you would never know who’s making decisions - who’s really in charge inside yourself." [Denis Villeneuve]

Denis Villeneuve made his feature debut in 1998 with Un 32 août sur Terre, which was selected at numerous festivals, including Cannes (Un Certain Regard), Telluride and Toronto. He followed it up with Maelström, which also played international festivals, including Sundance and Toronto, and won the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2001 Berlinale. In Canada, the film received nine Jutra and five Genie awards. In 2009, Polytechnique was chosen for the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight and won the Best Canadian Film Award from the Toronto Film Critics Association, and another nine Genie and five Jutra awards. His film Scorched premiered in Venice Days in 2010 and was nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. This year he made two films starring Jake Gyllenhaal: Enemy and Prisoners.
