    Doubling has been a topic of cinema and cinematic criticism for decades, with particular attention being paid by filmmakers on the feminine double. In what ways have Freudian conceptions of the feminine affected these depictions of the feminine double and of doubling at large? Through a literature review of film semiotic criticism, feminist theory, and films, this paper will craft newfound definitions for the feminine double in film. It will also define techniques, particularly montage techniques, that serve to prop up their respective depictions of the feminine double. Montage is significant as there is doubling inherent within the cut, serving as the greatest similarity to the double conceptually. Filmmakers like Brian De Palma, Roman Polanski, and Andrzej Żuławski, will be juxtaposed with filmmakers like Maya Deren, Chantal Akerman, and Céline Sciamma, among many others. The former represents filmmakers who champion the dominant feminine double, whereas the latter will represent the alternative. Ultimately, the dominant foregrounds a Freudian lack in their characters, whereas the alternative foregrounds expansion through various means. Further, the dominant will produce a double which exists as a split stand-in for their counterpart, whereas the alternative will produce a double that is analogically bound with the protagonist. This paper has also defined categories under which to consider the alternative feminine double films.
