Irene is so beautifull !!!
'Love this film, it's different from anything I saw before ! Music is also amazing ! Although I LOVED "Trois Colours", this is more satisfying ...
BEAUTIFULL !
"Persona" von Bergman - my all time favourite, than comes "Dogville" ...
Saw 'Blue' & 'Red', just not 'White'. So far, 'Double Vie' is the more enigmatic, haunting, myseterious, and achingly beautiful cinematic experience of the three (and one of the most rewarding in my life). It also happens to be the one I understood the least of the three. It lends a lot more to the imagination, making it run wild with possibilities, and I guess that's part of why it resonates with me like a lingering melody heard somewhere someplace in time before I grew too old for dreaming. There are scenes in 'Double Vie' that feel familiar and timeless, like moments in my own life when things were mysterious and uncertain, yet pregnant with significance, even as I was not fully aware why. It's genius how Kieslowski is able to capture these moments so compellingly in light and sound that moments of the film bleed into and mingle with the memories of life. He was a remarkably intuitive filmmaker and will be sorely missed.
shareI don't claim to understand it, but it is easily one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I feel fortunate to have seen it in the theater. I have it on VHS, but it is sort of disappointing to watch in that format. I'm looking forward to the DVD.
shareI was also fortunate to catch it on the big screen back in 1991 at South Coast Plaza in Orange County, CA. It was a part of a double feature with Naked Lunch by David Cronenberg. The VHS was alright. It's been my souvenir since then until I gave it to a friend who's a big film buff. But yes, really looking forward to the DVD. It will finally justify upgrading my old TV to a flat panel.
shareYes, the music in this movie is really beautiful - ca me donne le frisson..!
shareDestiny and Fate, wrapped with a lot of symbolism, and the music is part of the narrative. It's a genuine Kieslowisk masterpiece, with some recurrent themes of his work(death, metaphisics).
It's one of the best movies ever, no matter if you can't fully grasp it after watching for the first time.
I've only watched it once. I don't understand it. It's one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
shareI see it as much more than a film, it is the director attempting to put how he puzzles with so much of life, Irene was his muse, and she is a wonderful actress.
