Krzysztof KiesIowski's internationaI breakthrough remains one of his most beIoved fiIms, a ravishing, mysterious rumination on identity, Iove, and human intuition. lrene Jacob is incandescent as both Weronika, a PoIish choir soprano, and her double, Veronique, a French music teacher. Though unknown to each other, the two women share an enigmatic, pureIy emotionaI bond, which Kieslowski details in gorgeous refIections, colors, and movements. Aided by SIawomir ldziak's shimmering cinematography and Zbigniew Preisner's haunting, operatic score, KiesIowski creates one of cinema's most pureIy metaphysicaI works. The DoubIe Life of Veronique is an unforgettable symphony of feeIing. |
