Welcome to Series 6, in which we will explore The Double in cinema, an uncanny storytelling device often relied upon to represent self-division, a split in personality, or an emotional conflict. In Episode 1, Mary and Sarah discuss the desire to return to the womb and the doubling of the psychoanalytic process in David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers (1988) and François Ozon's L'Amant Double (2017).
