Show notes
Reflections, prisms, the dance of car lights across a rain sprinkled window to a Parisian cafe. It sure looks like we're reviewing some 1990s art house cinema this week. And we are are doing exactly that, with the ur- Trois Coleurs trilogy entrant, Krzysztof Kieslowski's The Double Life of Veronique . This film follows a period in the life of the titular character, played by Irene Jacob, and of her Polish doppelgänger Weronika, played by Jacob as well. They're their unexplainable bond is explored through shared sensory experiences and coincidences spanning the continent as each young woman navigates their lives made fraught with emotional poignancy and whimsical happenstance. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be reviewing and discussing Luis Bunuel's Diary of a Chambermaid (1964).
