		The one Veronique is Polish and dies singing, the other lives on in France but with a sense of having missed the one important connection in her life.
		Modern life feeling impersonal is a classic theme of the twentieth century yet the way Kieslowski tells it it does not feel at all cliched, rather he breathes new life and new understanding into what it means to live in the modern world.
		The double life of Veronique is a remarkable exploration of the feminine universe through the similarities of two women, one in Poland the other in France.

		Veronique is a professional singer, and Veronika is a talented amateur who, on a whim, tries out for an operetta and gets the part.
		Veronique does not see her, but manages to take a photograph that will figure prominently in the film's conclusion, of Veronika staring at the departing bus.
		The notion of a doppelganger, a double, is an old one, and some legends have it that if one sees one's double, it is a signifier of impending death.

	‘The Double Life of Veronique’ (NR)
		Krzysztof Kieslowski's "The Double Life of Veronique" has a fragile, opiated atmosphere that hovers somewhere between eroticism and melancholy.
		Once, while she's doubled over from an attack in the street, a well-dressed old man exposes himself to her.
		After Veronika's death, we are transported to Paris and into the life of Veronique, who's also a musician (and also played by Irene Jacob), but who awakes one morning and abruptly informs her music teacher that she is giving up her career.

	FilmJudge - The Double Life of Veronique(1991)
		The Double Life of Veronique by Krzysztof Kieslowski can be interpreted many ways due to its complex narrative structure and minimalist approach to characterization.
		In the film's final sequence a mirror image of Veronique embracing her father recalls the parallel lives of the two women.
		The two women slip and fall on pavement at similar points in their stories, Weronique just before seeing Veronique and Veronique just before she is seen by the singer who witnessed Weronique's death.

	Double vie de Véronique, La (1991) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Krzysztof Kieslowski's The Double Life of Véronique (originally titled La Double Vie de Véronique) might be the best film in the late director's accomplished oeuvre.
		Irène Jacob, also the star of Red, handles a double role as two women cut from the same metaphysical cloth -- the Polish Veronika and the French Véronique.
		Her presence as both women is at once whimsically childlike and sensually melancholic; relentlessly alluring, it is easy to see why she became Kieslowski's muse.

		It is only after exploring the world as Veronique and seeking out surrogate father figures (or indeed, lovers) that the character is able to escape into one of her father's picturesque painting and find forgiveness from her family...
		The Double Life of Veronique remains one of the defining works of European cinema in the 90's and is easily one of the greatest and most iconic films ever created by the late, great Kieslowski.
		A huge favourite film of mine for many years now, The Double Life of Veronique is shot entirely in Sepia and doesn't contain a lot of dialogue or many hints towards what the film may or not represent.

		When The Double Life of Veronique was screened at the Cannes Film Festival it not only brought international acclaim and attention to its director Krzysztof Kieslowski but also to the film's star, Irene Jacob.
		She points out that Kieslowski got his start making documentaries and that The Double Life of Veronique saw him moving into a "deeply poetic brand of cinematic storytelling." Insdorf, who contributed commentaries for Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, delivers a thoughtful track with excellent insight and analysis that is very accessible.

		I'm not completely familiar with Ashkenazic naming practices, but I understand that one usually changes a name if the person it is mean to honor died in horrific circumstances.
		In the middle of March, I followed the link on one of those blogs to a presentation called, "The Path of the Ba'al Shem Tov." So much of the presentation moved me deeply: Hashem's immanence, hashgacha pratis, the need for a spiritual mentor.

		Aptly titled after Krzysztof Kieslowski 1991 film, The Double Life of Véronique invokes a similar dream state and sense of the supernatural although via a completely different medium.
		Consisting, on this recording, of two compositions for bowed guitars and three live guitar improvisations, the five tracks on this CD are inspired by a long history of prepared guitar, from the tabletop experiments of Keith Row in AMM to Rafael Toral's incandescent soundtracks.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: The Double Life of Veronique \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		It's not a particularly new idea, that each of us has an exact double somewhere in the world, or that there might be some kind of psychic connection between the two — kindred spirits who are unaware of the other's existence.
		But "The Double Life of Veronique" attempts to give the notion an artistic twist, with slow-moving scenes that dwell on closeups of inanimate objects, eccentric camera angles, refracted images and offbeat lighting.
		Veronique is also on the road to a singing career, but, taking a cue from an inner feeling that is somehow connected to Veronika, she changes her life and heads in another direction.

		In a dual role that won her the best actress award at Cannes, Three Colors: Red star Iréne Jacob plays both Veronika and Veronique, two women - one Polish, one French - who were born on the same day with the same talents and the same potentially fatal condition.
		Thousands of miles away in France, meanwhile, another young woman called Veronique suddenly feels the inexplicable desire to stop her fledgling singing career.
		Her subsequent decisions - including her relationship with a talented puppeteer (Philippe Volter) - are also seemingly guided by the experiences of the Polish woman she's never met or been aware of.

		The movie is about two young women, one named Veronique, one named Veronika, both played by Irene Jacob.

	Margin: Exploring Modern Magical Realism/THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VÉRONIQUE ~ A REVIEW
		In many ways, The Double Life is two separate stories, linked by a character and by certain shared thematic concepts and leitmotifs (in a literal as well as a figurative sense, for the musical score is also a series of inversions and themes that recur in various iterations).
		She has lived the life of the cautious child who learns from her counterpart’s mistakes, and so we have the sense that she is mired in a kind of longing that she has never permitted to escape.
		Yet, life for her goes on and once again, she is able to learn from Weronika’s mistakes, thereby sidestepping the fate of her Polish double.

		I emailed her back and suggested that perhaps IFC would be interested in putting together some sort of week-long celebration of Kieslowski to honor this anniversary.
		If they were to make "Double Life" a part of this celebration, then their purchase of the TV rights might convince Paramount of the economic viability of remastering the film.

	FOREIGN AFFAIRS II: LA BELLE NOISEUSE, THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE, RHAPSODY IN AUGUST
		One of the good and bad aspects of Hollywood is the prevailing attitude of "What have you done for me lately?" The good part, which doesn't really get discussed enough, is that it's a way of kicking people in the butt, to make them try and produce a good movie all the time.
		Jacques Rivette (63), Krzysztof Kieslowski (50), and Akira Kurosawa (81) were able to turn out LA BELLE NOISEUSE, THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE, and RHAPSODY IN AUGUST, respectively, and while only the first one is a great film, all of them are worthy of attention.
		Many people who are turned off by foreign-language films that aren't genre films will describe them as the equivalent of watching paint dry.

		Mostly captivating, Double Life's metaphysical meditation occasionally verges on silly self-absorption; at its worst, the movie's solemn search for profundities could almost be a parody of European artiness.
		Lyrical and elliptical, the movie can also be read simply as an ode to its lead: Jacob's Veronique is clearly an idealized projection of feminine perfection, so perfect that Kieslowski had to make two of her.
		This movie follows the life of two women who are seemingly the same.
