No one understands, two flowers in the mirror

The ultimate beauty. The first Kieslowski. The pioneering work of mirror film, "Two Lives". Dark yellow, green tones, as if the world is always at sunset. The confusion of love, the subjective perspective of the last moment of life, the interweaving of rotation, the tune of aria, the background sound of beating the soul, the extreme state of audio-visual. Timeless mirroring, looking at yourself and foreign objects through windows, mirrors, glasses, glass beads. The two worlds of upside down and upright position, the spiritual connection between two very similar girls. The trauma of losing a mother, and the lifelong pursuit of self-incompleteness constitute the painful essence of the mirror stage, and such a lack cannot be made up for by love. When she saw the lost "self" in the black and white grid, the girl cried.

Connecting this mystery are the two largest Catholic countries in Eastern and Western Europe - France and Poland. In 1991, they were still symmetrical with Germany as the axis, just like a pair of the most representative mirror images of reality, one side is the future, the other side is the past. The Berlin Wall has collapsed, and Europe is bound to become one. The price of breaking through the imagination is lack. Those who extol the sound of God's blessings die and turn into butterflies, and those who enjoy the purity of life are born and die forever.

    #Northern Film Festival Review# The color tone, the color of the music and the color of the film are perfectly combined with the warm tone style film. 04:05, singing in the rain. 06:18, excellent run handling. 10:01, the world in the glass ball. 13:48, the pinball hits, the dust falls, an emotion. At 14:59, the Red Gloves reinforce themselves to see themselves. At 17:14, the tangled fingers loosened and ended the scene. At 24:05, the hunched old woman outside the window. 28:14, stunned to the ground, subjective shot. 38:09, puppet show, play within play. 48:26, a letter with a cord. At 49:30, light and shadow communicate. 01:19:34, the ring slid across the eyelids.

    #9# It seems like a kind of bondage with a strange expectation. The scene where the two girls meet by chance is very beautiful. The slow panning makes this moment seem like there are only two people and two girls. The gradual presentation of deja vu It feels like this coincidence or fate slowly emerges from another me in the world. It seems like an island resting after a long journey of searching.

The Double Life of Véronique quotes

  • Alexandre Fabbri: [kissing Veronique's forehead when she's lying upside down on his bed] Let's check and see if we're still bad for each other.

  • Weronika: Not long ago, I had a strange sensation. I felt that I was alone. All of a sudden. Yet nothing had changed.
