THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE (1991, FRANCE)

30 from the 90's (Post 23 of 30)



The Double Life of Veronique

Krzysztof Kieslowski’s films are definitely not for everybody. The double life that Veronique lives in isn’t part of an alternate universe where she sees her double or where she gets transported back in time. Veronique and Veronica are separated at birth (metaphysically) and never really meet. It’s a déjà vu kind of thing. And there’s also puppets. And I’ve missed movies with puppets as characters ever since I finished Being John Malkovich.

And Irene Jacob is most captivating.
