Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
Parallel stories about two identical women; one Polish and the other French. They don't know each other, but their lives are deeply and intimately connected.
"Irène Jacob, from 'La Fraternité est Rouge', brings to life two characters in 'La double vie de Véronique' that are identical both in appearance and in the way they lead their lives. The film is very poetic and has a vague plot, which makes it difficult to understand its complexity. The director himself, Krzysztof Kieslowski, described that the work was difficult to adapt to the cinema because it speaks of sensitivity, premonitions and relationships that are hard to name. The production is full of metalinguistic elements and each scene works as an experience, both for those who filmed it and for those who watch it. In 'La double vie de Véronique' we see that the filmmaker explores the female characters well, as we also see in 'Trilogie des Couleurs', which was released years later. It is also the first film in which Krzysztof Kieslowski deals with duality, synchronicity and immerses himself in it full of daydreams."
