The Double Life of Veronique (Polish & French with subtitles)

 

Veronique is a beautiful French woman who aspires to be a renowned singer.

Weronika lives in Poland, has a similar ambition, and looks identical to Veronique, but the two are not related.

The story follows their parallel lives.

This transcendent, lyrical and enigmatic tale of duality and yearning is one of the most acclaimed films by the masterful Polish auteur Krzysztof Kieslowski, director of ‘Dekalog’ and ‘Three Colours’ trilogy.
Irene Jacob is utterly captivating in the twin roles of Veronique and Weronika, two young women leading totally separate lives in France and in Poland, yet each is strangely aware of the other’s presence.
Despite their different backgrounds, the two share not only many of the same likes, foibles and prodigious musical talents, but also the same wisdom, inspiring one to unconsciously avoid making the same mistakes in life as the other.

 

Doors open 30 minutes before the performance commences.
