"Chaos is order yet undeciphered."

Well, that was a mind distorter if there ever was one. I don't think I can remember having left a theater so confused before. I turned to the man next to me, who I noticed had also gone to see the same film, and noticed that he was shaking his head. "What did you think of it?," I asked him. "Not good... not good at all." And I totally understood where he was coming from, because who could have been prepared for a film (or an ending, for that matter) like that?

Yet I was not on the same page; I loved Enemy. I LOVED it. Maybe it has to do with my appreciation for…

2013’s “Enemy” finds director Denis Villeneuve between phases of his early work with films like Incendies and Prisoners, to more mainstream films like Sicario, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049, films that would solidify him as one of the best directors working today.

The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Adam, a Toronto college professor who sees a man who looks just like him in a movie. Adam becomes obsessed with finding out who this double is, and soon learns that the actor’s name is Anthony. Adam introduces himself to Anthony, and what follows is a twisted plot as their lives become intertwined and Anthony ends up becoming obsessed with Adam, but in a different way.

Set in Canada, “Enemy” earned five…

“Şu dişilik; insan topluluğunun sonsuz ironisi.” Hegel

Sarı melankolik sise gömülmüş yüzyıllık modernitenin dikeylemesine ve yataylamasına ördüğü yüzlerce gözden oluşan binalar, sonsuz karanlığa uzanan karidorlar, gökdelenler, otoyollar, kablolar vesaireden oluşan ağ biçimiyle tekinsiz kent silueti karşılar bizi. Adam’ın(Adem) Annesinden aldığı telefonla sahne açılır. Anne endişelendiği belli ederek, nedense annesi olduğunu belirterek!.. o halde nasıl yaşadığını sorgular. Adam’ın herhangi bir sesi ve karşılığı yoktur. Kontrolcü kendiliğinden yetkilenmiş anne figürü. Adem’in dünyaya ve tuzağa düşmesinde kadının rolü malum.

“Kaos, deşifre edilmeyi bekleyen düzendir” (Bu yazı giriyor; seyirciye bir şey anlatmak derdinde değil, şahitliğini hissettirmek kaydıyla, anlamına kavuşmayı seyircisindeki kuvvetten beklediğini açıksa ifade ediyor bir yandan)

Gizli bir örgütün davetiyle erkeklere özel bir yeraltı gösterisiyle devam ediyor film. Peki bu gösteriyle ne gösterilmeye…
