Timeless
Weronika lives in Poland. Véronique lives in Paris. Though not knowing each other, they happen to be identical. Not only is it their looks that are the same, but also their lives seems to be weirdly intertwined – through a mysterious, emotional bond connecting the two of them, transcending language and geography.
Kieślowski received both the FIPRESCI Prize and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at Cannes Film Festival, and Irène Jacob in the double lead roles was awarded for Best Actress. The Double Life of Véronique is as memorable for Sławomir Idziak’s stylized cinematography and Zbigniew Preisner’s intriguingly haunting soundtrack, as it is for is enchanting drama.
