Staff Pick Premiere: Double trouble

The expression "opposites attract" is used frequently to refer to the human phenomenon that attracts us to those who are different from ourselves. This is how we can make sense of two individuals, who have apparent nothing in common becoming lovers. It's also why couples butt heads and get complicated when two people with distinct differences attempt to come to an agreement.

Using supernatural elements to explore the challenges of relationship could be a bit of a leap for anyone familiar with Robbin's filmography, however the many years of comedy have given him the opportunity to employ comedy as a way to get to examine human behavior. "We all have darkness," say Robbins. "And to be honest I've never expressed that through film. When I was just 18 years old, and just starting my career in comedy, I chose to do it because I thought I was too young to be discussing something serious. My life was a happy one, making someone laugh was something I understood and wanted to emulate."

Robbins utilizes the classic romantic comedy format to show the aspects of our behaviors which we attempt to hide. "If individuals were treated in the way they treat others in relationships, they would be angry. Every one of us has been hurt by another." The way the individual reacts to the realization of this that determines their personality.

Robbins wrote the script with regular collaborator Nunzio Randazzo (who also stars as his male Alex in the film) in the wake of a discussion on Quentin Tarantino's character led them to wonder what it would be like to actually meet yourself and surround your own. Caroline Lindy, who is superbly portrayed as female Alex is the perfect choice to complete the film by delivering a powerful performance. She also has a slight resemblance Randazzo which adds an additional layer of intrigue to the movie.
