The Double Life of Veronique
Kieslowski's movie is told not so much in customary narrative structures, but in glimpses, hints, and intimations. On the same day in 1968, two women are born, one in Poland, the other in France. Though the two share many characteristics, they live worlds apart. Yet each senses the other and has intuitive knowledge of the other's presence.
"...singing career, much like the fable told by the puppeteer who provides another level of commentary on their story..."
