Customer Ratings & Reviews

this film reminds me of myself in so many ways. as soon as i heard this was going to be available on dvd, i made immediate plans to own it. sadly, we no longer have the luxury of seeing kieslowski films on the big screen & awaiting his classics to arrive on dvd but we will have the memories of his greatness on dvd. once again, criterion has done an amazing job of transfering this magnificent film to dvd & allowing fans to relive the work all over. there are some nice extras here such as interviews, some rare short film, & an a companion booklet. irene jacob is simply luminous in her double role. everytime i see this film, i notice something different & look forward to discovering it again. the images are simply gorgeous & the music is perhaps one of the most haunting scores i've ever heard. if you love films which explore peoples' destinies & fate, you wouldn't want to miss the double life of veronique. fans of great french cinema would cherish this one.
