For me the most wonderfully puzzling thing about watching this very noir, very artsy trailer for The Double (an adaptation of a Fyodor Dostoyevsky novella) was then reading that it was a comedy about a man’s descent into madness. Of course with director, screen writer and funny man Richard Ayoade (actor in The IT Crowd, The Watch) behind the scenes it will most definitely be brilliant. Here’s the poster, followed by the teaser trailer.
