Abstract
The article examines the artistic aspects of presenting the world duality as exemplified by the film ‘‘Mr. Decorator’’ (1988) directed by O. Teptsov. The subject of the study is the world-duality as both an artistic device and a special case of the universal duality motif in world mythology and literature. The principle of duality most accurately reflects the phenomena and processes of the surrounding world and makes it possible to expand the iconic aesthetic picture of a work of art.
