“Devil’s Double” Scores At Berlin
The Independent reports: ‘The Devil’s Double tells the extraordinary story of Latif Yahia, the Iraqi army lieutenant who became the stand-in for Saddam Hussein’s sadistic son, Uday. The director Lee Tamahori isn’t remotely interested in the minutiae of Iraqi politics. This is a gangster film that has far more in common with Scarface than with the spate of recent Iraq-themed movies.’ Dominic Cooper (pictured), who is best known in the States for playing the little shit who cock-teased the teacher in “The History Boys,” gives a pretty sensational performance, we’re being told.
