Dead Ringers

Special features in this boxed set of Dead Ringers include a new digital transfer, hundreds of publicity and production stills, a gallery of drawings and photographs and a remarkably fascinating running commentary by director Cronenberg, Irons, cinematographer Suschitsky, editor Sanders, production designer Spier who explore all aspects of the production and much, much more.

Dead Ringers is based on the book Twins by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, which is loosely based on a true story. Identical twin gynecologists, sensitive Beverly and suave Elliot (both played by Jeremy Irons) share everything—their home, their medical practice, and their women. Elliot seduces one of his patients (Genevieve Bujold), and, unbeknownst to her, turns her over to Beverly who elicits kinky behavior. When Claire discovers that she has secretly been involved with both twins, she leaves Beverly with the seeds of drug addiction planted for his destruction.
