When we meet our hero, Adam Bell, he is lecturing about the ways that totalitarian states keep the people down.

In this case, the body snatchers just happen to be giant spiders. It’s an Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie in which you don’t even realize it’s an Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie until the end-until it’s too late for our hero.

While Enemy has been billed as an erotic thriller and a doppelganger movie-and it is both those things-I think ultimately it’s a parable about what it’s like to live under a totalitarian state without knowing it. In an interview with the Huffington Post, he said, “ If you look at Enemy again, you can see that everything has an answer and a meaning.” Though the movie may appear inexplicable at first, this epigraph suggests that we can make some sense of it, some order, if we just know how it can be deciphered. This is a movie that begins with the epigraph, “Chaos is order yet undeciphered” (a line from José Saramago’s The Double, the novel on which the movie is based). This was my first reaction as well, but one thing critics haven’t done thus far-probably because they’re confined to the spoiler-free zone of the review-is offer a theory that tries to make sense of it all. The movie has described as “ head-scratching,” “ mysterious,” and “ gloriously enigmatic.” As one critic put it, “I kinda dug it but I have no idea if it’s any good or what happened or where I am anymore and what aiiiiiiiieeeeeeee that last sound/shot.” The ending of Denis Villeneuve’s new movie Enemy has been called perhaps “ the scariest ending of any film ever made.” And much of its scariness derives from its initial inexplicability.
