DOUBLE LOVER
2018-05-14When the attractive Chloé falls in love with her psychotherapist Paul, all her problems seem solved. She moves in with him, but soon she realizes that he is hiding something from her. By chance, Chloé discovers that Paul has a twin brother who is also a therapist. Driven by curiosity, she deals with him in treatment and is shocked: Although he looks outwardly his hair, Louis is the complete opposite of his brother – arrogant, cynical and possessive. Nevertheless, Chloé is attracted to him and gets into a dangerous network of desire and deception.
With great enthusiasm François Ozon varies the motive of the doppelganger on all imaginable cinematic levels and beats it with relish over the strings. As usual, he dupes his audience. THE OTHER LOVER is loosely based on a novel by Joyce Carol Oates.
