“Krzysztof Kieślowski’s international breakthrough remains
one of his most beloved films, a ravishing, mysterious rumination on identity,
love, and human intuition. Irène Jacob is incandescent as both Weronika, a
Polish choir soprano, and her double, Véronique, a French music teacher. Though
unknown to each other, the two women share an enigmatic, emotional bond, which
Kieślowski details in gorgeous reflections, colors, and movements. Aided by
Slawomir Idziak’s shimmering cinematography and Zbigniew Preisner’s haunting,
operatic score, Kieślowski creates one of cinema’s most purely metaphysical
works. The Double Life of Véronique is an
unforgettable symphony of feeling.”
