Directed by: David Cronenberg
In Dead Ringers, David Cronenberg tells the chilling story of identical twin gynecologists—suave Elliot and sensitive Beverly, bipolar sides of one personality—who share the same practice, the same apartment, the same women. When a new patient, glamorous actress Claire Niveau, challenges their eerie bond, they descend into a whirlpool of sexual confusion, drugs, and madness. Jeremy Irons’ s tour-de-force performance—as both twins—raises disturbing questions about the nature of personal identity.

Dead Ringers
Dead Ringers was filmed full frame, 1.33:1. The framing was designed to be masked for various theatrical aspect ratios. It's presented here in 1.66:1, David Cronenberg's preferred framing. This new digital transfer was created from a 35mm interpositive. The sound was mastered from the Dolby stereo magnetic tracks
