Irene Jacob in The Double Life Of Veronique (1991)
added: 2014-12-14 Irène Jacob is mesmerizing in dual roles in this beautifully photographed, dream-like exploration of psychic bonds and parallel lives. Jacob plays two women, born at the same time but a thousand miles apart, who are as inextricably bound as Siamese twins. Lush, golden lighting imparts an ethereal sense of myth and fairy tale as Veronique/Veronika searches for an understanding of her pervasive emotional reality. A revelatory inquiry into the transience of human existence and the devastation of loss. Directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski, France/Poland/Norway, 98 min.
