Sure, the dialogue is important, but for those of you that have watched anything by Kieślowski, the beauty captured within the mastermind’s eye is what speaks volumes.

The purely arousing bond between viewer and creator is unparalleled through a visual spectrum. Metaphysically speaking, this is a film that offers a different interpretation with each sitting. If stuck for one DVD to hit the ol’ dusty trail with, this film packs enough emotional despair and aspiration, led by the ungodly but innocent Irene Jacob, to accompany the lonely nights at sea. Not getting the nod until 2006 by the Criterion Collection series, they finally put out the Polish director’s pseudo-masterpiece, The Double Life of Véronique.


Krzysztof Kieślowski is one of the world’s most criminally underappreciated filmmakers. Cast: Irène Jacob, Halina Gryglaszewska, Aleksander Bardini, Władysław Kowalski, Guillaume De Tonquédec
