Viewing Notes
This odd movie is billed as a sci-fi/thriller/horror but really isn’t any of them. I guess the closest thing it comes to being is a thriller, so that’s what I categorized it as.
Kiyoshi Kurosawa has some done some great movies that are particular favorites of mine, including Cure and Bright Future. I wouldn’t put Doppelganger in the same category as those two films, but it does carry the same whimsical sensibilities.
Worth watching, but you should clear your mind of any expectations of typical sci-fi, horror or thrillers.
