The Double Life Of Veronique at Life

The Double Life Of Veronique. Two parallel stories about two identical women; It leaves the viewer thinking about it well after the credits roll.

A languid sort of visual storytelling that is equal parts haunting and lyrical. Twice blooms the flowers genre: Kieslowski, the forgotten european cinema master of the 80s and 90s, made possibly the greatest film ever made.

My Criterion Collection criterion

The double life of véronique is a tenderly photographed account of two women (one in poland and the other in france, both portrayed by the deity irène jacob) living eerily analogous lives. Jacob is unforgettable as the two women, and. Irène jacob is incandescent as both weronika, a polish choir soprano, and her double, véronique, a french music teacher. The double life of veronique is a film with minimal dialogue, and despite the fact that i adore dialogue, i love that this film didn’t have much of it.
