Simon James (Jesse Eisenberg) is a timid office clerk working in an ominous government organization. He is overlooked by his boss (Wallace Shawn) and colleagues, scorned by his mother, and ignored by Hannah (Mia Wasikowska), the lovely copy room girl he pines for. Undermined and undervalued everywhere he turns, it seems that his directionless life couldn't get any worseuntil the arrival of James Simon, his new co-worker. James is both Simon's exact physical double and his oppositeconfident, charismatic and seductive with women. To Simon's horror, James slowly starts taking over his life.
British director Richard Ayoade returns with this darkly comic adaptation of Dostoevsky's novella, featuring a tour de force dual performance from Jesse Eisenberg and co-starring Mia Wasikowska, alongside a strong ensemble cast including Wallace Shawn, Noah Taylor and Cathy Moriarty.
