Doppleganger (2003)

Not too bad for K. Kurosawa (one of the most frustrating filmmakers working today). The scenario allows Kiyoshi room to explore his favorite themes (isolation, dehumanization, things like that), but it's also fairly straightforward and involving, which is something new for this terminally vague filmmaker. Don't know what the hell happened with the third act (likely the script was written into a corner, which resulted in the application of the Hollywood solution); that final image is pretty unforgettable, though.

Grade: B-
