....after I had seen this remarkable film, I expressed a thought to my companion to say that I think I may have unravelled the riddle of the story ....we were traveling on a tube train from a London cinema to a local pub to celebrate a friend's leaving party from work ....
Throughout the film, I was intrigued -spellbound by the inventiveness of the motion picture; inspired to the haunting music; puzzled by the mysterious link to the puppeteer....there were striking images to enlighten my imagination -oozing in my taste for an art house filming.
.....as I am writing, I am experiencing the deja vu feeling...I go back to my first thought after viewing the film: I recalled saying to my dear friend that if we picked-up on the story at middle ( -rather than at the beginning of the film, ) I would say that the tale of The Double Life of Veronique evolved here, from the puppeteer himself, who had written the very story in the first place!
The Double Life of Veronique intrigues me to this day as it did a long time ago after that I had seen the film: And I still have a collective thought of collage images -but does it all make sense now in my kaleidoscopic memory of beautiful colours: I truly don't know?
I have just telephoned my friend -the very lady who accompanied me to the cinema in the first place- we have reminisced in the magic and mystery of the film: 'Shall we meet again to see the film -on DVD- and who has a copy, me dear...'
'Krzysztof Kieslowski' writes, "people are linked to each other by invisible threads.... "they experience loneliness.... " -Krzysztof Kieslowski was the great film director and screen writer from Poland ( 1941 -1996 ).' I highly recommend if you like the sentiments that I took delight to express.... * Here is a quote from the film director, extended from my text above:
"At a meeting just outside Paris, a fifteen-year-old girl came up to me and said that she'd been to see 'The double life of Véronique'. She'd gone once, twice, three times and only wanted to say one thing really - that she has realized that there is such a thing as a soul. She hadn't known before, but now she knew that the soul did exist. There's something very beautiful in that. It was worth making 'Véronique' for that girl. It was worth working for a year, sacrificing all that money, energy, time, patience, torturing yourself, killing yourself, taking thousands of decisions, so that one young girl in Paris should realize that there is such a thing as a soul. It's worth it." -Krzysztof Kieslowski.
