Exploring the Dark and Twisted World of 'Dead Ringers' with Rachel Weisz and Jennifer Ehle.
Rachel Weisz and Alice Birch discuss their adaptation of the 1988 film "Dead Ringers" into a six-episode series for Amazon. The show follows identical twin gynecologists who engage in a toxic pas de deux, pushing the moral boundaries of medicine and blurring the lines between their identities. Weisz and Birch discuss the show's genesis, its many plot convolutions, its sex and birthing scenes, its queer overtones, and its shocking finale. They also talk about their research into gynecology and obstetrics, their own experiences giving birth, and the show's examination of menopause and the pressure on women to look eternally young in the entertainment industry.
