Movie Review - The Double Life of Veronique
La Double vie de Véronique (1991)
directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski
rating: 2 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix
I'm not ashamed to admit that the enigmas at the heart of Kieslowski's movies have always left me cold. Which in one way is odd, since his characters are usually so warm (and, of course, his actresses so beautiful). Or maybe it's because of everyone's inherent sincerity that nothing really feels at stake or even very interesting. The pretty shots and oblique narrative set-ups make K a kind of poor man's Sofia Coppola, and at least Sofia's good enough to act like the princess she is.
