2013 Cannes Film Festival Predictions: Denis Villeneuve’s An Enemy

Date:

#33. Denis Villeneuve’s An Enemy

Gist: A man seeks out his exact look-alike after spotting him in a movie. Villeneuve’s An Enemy, based on the José Saramago novel The Double The Canada-Spain co-production sees Gyllenhaal play a character who sees himself in a DVD film he rents, and then sets out to find his double. Co-stars Isabella Rossellini, Sarah Gadon and Melanie Laurent.

Prediction: He showed his award-wining short Next Floor (2008) on the Croisette, and then Villeneuve’s Incendies was bypassed Cannes for Venice leaving Thierry Frémaux salivating for his next project. With no Xavier Dolan on the Croisette this yer, perhaps this might find a spot in the Un Certain Regard section.
