I haven't seen the film, but I've seen clips of the scene, and
it looks fairly straightforward.  It appears to be a typical
split-screen duplicating effect, probably shot in front of a blue
screen onto which the backround elements were added in optical
post-processing.  This technique would have been used when it
was necessary to show both figures' faces simultaneously.
For close-ups and other similar shots, such effects are not necessary
since a "double" can be used for shots that include both persons
but where only one face can be seen.
