The Tiger's Tail (2006)

I am quite surprised that I watched The Tiger's Tail (dir. J Boorman) to the end. It's not a very good movie, the acting was embarrassing at times, and the plot was contrived to say the least. A businessman in Dublin is stalked by his twin brother who just looks like him and snatches his successful life from him. Existential drama? No. Comedy? No. Crime story? Not really. Satire about the rich and wealthy whose inner demons turn into real doppelgänger, the underclass coming to haunt the capitalist? Well, maybe, but well, that would be quite a far-fetched reading of the film even though this is a film trying to explain how success is not really the road to happiness (the businessman's son reads Marx and his wife is bored with him and his business goes to hell anyways). - -- - Even some attempts at Irish accents fail.
