DOPPELGANGER

Recommended. Based on actual events, it's a thriller revealing facts piecemeal but it also has a tear-jerking psychological layer of how living in lies destroys you. Emily Kusche in the complex role of Nina stands out even among the fine performances all around. Top-notch costumes, hairstyling, make-up take you back in time to the cold war era. Shot on a few locations in Poland to represent Polish and other European towns: GdaƄsk, Strasbourg, a Yugoslavian resort it skillfully convinces you to be a witness of two, or three - counting Yugoslavia, parallel realities of the period.
