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 special screening will be introduced by Director David Cronenberg and composer Howard Shore, as part of the London Soundtrack Festival.
