Weronika lives in Krakow, Poland and is an aspiring classical singer. Veronique lives in Paris and her career is also in music. They look identical but have far more than this in common.
Interesting, engaging drama from Krzysztof Kieslowski (Three Colours - Red/Blue/White, A Short Film About Killing). Sensitively, lavishly told story by Kieslowski, drawing you in. This is helped by an excellent performance by Irene Jacob as the two Veroniques. Quite enchanting.
Not perfect, however. The connection between the two is never fully explored and I kept waiting for the film to kick up a gear, as it felt like it was just coasting the whole way through. Kieslowski does a great job of setting everything up but then doesn't provide the powerful, profound ending to tie it all up.
Overall, watchable but a bit disappointing.
