Best of Q: Jake Gyllenhaal on Enemy and dueling doppelgängers

Jake Gyllenhaal on his dual role in Denis Villeneuve's erotic existential thriller, Enemy.

In a conversation from the Best of Q, Jake Gyllenhaal sits down with guest host Brent Bambury to discuss his dual role in the acclaimed film, Enemy. On Saturday night, the erotic existential thriller won the best film prize at the Directors Guild of Canada Awards.

The Oscar-nominated actor reflects on the complexity of playing two contrasting characters -- a nervous University of Toronto professor and his confident doppelganger -- as well as the brother-like relationship he's developed with Montreal director Denis Villeneuve. 

Gyllenhaal's latest movie -- a contemporary film noir thriller called Nightcrawler --- hits theatres on October 31.
