    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Interior scenes filmed in the once-iconic Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, Ontario. Opened in 1969, 8 years prior to the filming of this adaptation, the OSC was designed and built in the middle of the Brutalist architectural style boom of the 60s in Canada. 2024 saw the permanent closure of the OSC due to structural issues. Denis Villeneuve's Enemy is a great example of another film set almost exclusively to a backdrop of Brutalist buildings and infrastructure in Toronto, Canada.
