Krzysztof Kie?lowski's celebrated Sixties-set drama follows two young women, both called Veronica, who seem to have a single existence, albeit in different countries. They are identical, sharing mannerisms, predilections and musical talent. They nurture ambition, hopes and loves, and suffer from the same rare heart disease. Kie?lowski's oblique, luminously photographed and hauntingly scored film is an enigmatic tale of double identity.

About this product

Product Information

Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski, creator of the masterful THREE COLORS TRILOGY, presents this enigmatic, philosophical drama about duality in the modern world. Weronika (Irene Jacob), a young Polish woman, embraces each aspect of her life with zeal. She has many friendships, sexual and platonic, and a variety of interests. A serious heart ailment, however, debilitates her periodically, but she refuses to let it hold her back. On her way to a singing contest, she sees a woman who is her spitting image. Weronika tries to catch the look-alike's attention, but fails. The second woman, the French Veronique (Jacob), is also a gifted singer yet she rejects this talent to teach at a primary school. Eventually she, too, senses the presence of another force in her life, but it isn∩┐╜t until Alexandre (Philippe Volter), an artist, appears that she finally recognizes this for certain. Kieslowski∩┐╜s superb film is a lyrical study of the divided but inextricably linked worlds of Eastern and Western Europe, featuring two remarkable, soul-bearing performances by the gorgeous Jacob.

ReviewsThe Guardian - Magical... this is not a film you can afford to miss., Los Angeles Times - Jacob has a delicate, high-fashion lyricism..., Film Comment - ...Veronique is played by Irene Jacob, whom Kieslowski's camera loves, the film is alive each moment she is onscreen, which is nearly every moment
