“This movie achieves a rare grace: it tells a story that could only exist in the form of a movie (or, perhaps, as a piece of poetry).”
—The Austin Chronicle

“History may have sidelined THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE, but that is not to say the film has not lasted.”
—Criterion Collection

“Compelling, challenging and irresistibly beautiful, this delicate metaphysical masterpiece only emphasizes how much cinema lost through Krzysztof Kieślowski’s tragically early death.”
—Empire Magazine

Though the two have never met, they share a metaphysical connection, which Kieślowski explores with breathtaking cinematic virtuosity.
