You Tube Theology

This discussion brings together four very diverse panellists to discuss the critically-acclaimed film The Double, released in the UK earlier this year and starring Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska. Based on a novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky, this dark, surreal and frequently funny film explores themes of anxiety, isolation, jealousy, competition and madness through the relationship between two doppelgängers, Simon James and James Simon.
The panellists will be Richard Ayoade, the film’s co-writer and director, Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury and a celebrated writer on Dostoevsky, Catherine Wheatley, Lecturer in Film Studies at King’s College London, and Max Saunders, Director of the Arts and Humanities Research Institute at King’s College London. The evening will be chaired by Ben Quash of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies.
