Our last pick for the doppelgängers theme is the 2019 film ‘Metamorphosis’, directed by Kim Hong-Sun. ✝️

There’s a lot to unpack here. We talk about the strange absence of Korean cultural signifiers in this film, and unpick some inconsistencies in the narrative. We then move on to discuss how this film uses doubles to explore the crisis of the family and to what effect. Finally, we praise the film’s fascinating use of possession lore with the doppelgängers theme to create something genuinely disturbing and relatively unique.
