The Double Life of Veronique (Classic Tuesdays)

This transcendent, lyrical and enigmatic tale of duality and yearning is one of the most acclaimed films by the Polish director of the Three Colours trilogy. Three Colours: Red star Jacob is utterly captivating in the twin roles of Veronique and Veronika, two young women leading totally separate lives in France and Poland, yet each strangely aware of the other’s presence. Aided by a haunting, operatic score, Kieslowski creates one of cinema’s most purely metaphysical works.
