My mom watched this in 1991 and so much love it, She birth me in 1996 and deciced to give name Weronika. She told me about this movie a few days ago, 4 days ago she died. She really want I will sing so great. Now I'm watching it all days, and thank her, couse of it I love music and sing. I love her and have hope that she is proud of me

Haunting and heart breaking: an extraordinary (key) scene from one of Krzysztof Kieślowski's very best films, "La Double Vie de Véronique". The scene left a big mark on me and never loses its power. As indeed neither does the film.
O voi che siete in piccioletta barca desiderosi d'ascoltar, seguiti dietro al mio legno che cantando varca Non vi mettete in pelago, ché forse perdendo me, rimarreste smarriti L'acqua ch'io prendo giá mai non si corse Minerva spira è conducemi Appollo è nove Muse mi dimostran l'Orse...
O you who are seated in your little skiffs Zealous to listen following in the wake Behind my ship that singing plows her way Turn back to look again on your own shores Dont put out on the high seas, for, perhaps In losing me you may run far adrift! The flood I take was never coursed before Minerva blows Apollo pilots me And the nine Muses point me out the Bears...
O, wy, co w wątłej płyniecie łupinie chciwi słuchania w ślad za mym okrętem który śpiewając ponad głębię płynie wróćcie za lądu ostatnim zakrętem ni się na pełne nie puszczajcie morze bo się zabłąkać łatwo nad odmętem! Po szlaku, com go obrał, jeszcze może nikt nie wędrował: Apollo mię wiedzie natchnie Minerwa, a zaś Muzy hoże wskazują, kędy wóz niebiański jedzie...
O voi che siete in piccioletta barca, desiderosi d'ascoltar, seguiti dietro al mio legno che cantando varca, Non vi mettete in pelago, ché forse, perdendo me, rimarreste smarriti. L'acqua ch'io prendo giá mai non si corse; Minerva spira è conducemi Appollo, è nove Muse mi dimostran l'Orse." Dante, Paradiso
Sorry, I also forgot to mention Zibgniew Preisner's unvaluable music and contribution to this film.
I saw him last year in concert in Paris (Grand Rex). It was the first time he performed in France and was very moved ... So was I ! The concert was fantastic !
sideral music in Paris. i hunted it down in the 90's...i think you can get it as an import from Amazon, though. back then, i called Sideral and bought a copy and had it sent from their dist. ctr. this played over at the theatre by Julliard in the early 90's and i saw it at least a couple dozen times during that time. great movie.
Je ne peux oublier ce film (vu et revu tant de fois) pour sa musique, autant le chant choral que la composition pour piano sur la danse de la marionnette. C'est une vibration positive qui m'a donné la chaire de poule. Du pur plaisir.
@magdalenka1972 - it`s good, even a great movie, but probably the best movie in history of cinema is.... "Saragossa Manuscript", just my personal opinion.
Dans le genre mélodramatique, c'est du lourd. Trop lourd. Kieslowski dégoulinait de sentimentalisme, de romantisme. C'était infecte, il n'y avait rien pour contrebalacer sa tendance larmoyante. Je ne parle pas de morale, bien qu'il n'ait jamais cessé d'en faire, mais d'esthétique : la sienne était insoutenable de mièvrerie.
I've been haunted by this scene ever since the first time I saw La Double Vie de Veronique in '91. It has the same power now as it did then. Also, the lyrics to the songs, from Dante, are also very haunting.

For me its the most beautifully shooted death scene of cinema...the way that Kryzstof's camera enters and exits in her objective is faboulus..the aerial movements of camera superb, like the little one at 1:58, which prepares us for the big flying of her soul, at the end of the scene, over the whole room. Words are poor to comment such a piece of art
Beautiful Death... Probably the majority of the artists would want to die interpreting in scene, giving the last breathe of life there! Preisner, his music touch my life forever many nights falling in love ... I love Preisner´s Music ... "Enfer"
Dear friend, I have to disagree with you here, although what you write is beutiful! I disagree because for Jacob it was easier here..only a part of her was dying, her other half continued to live, feeling Weronika and carrying her inner world with her.

My comment is such a cliché... it is hard to talk about something that affects you deeply and not sound like a dick. Using ... is the best way to express how this scene makes me feel.
The term "film" refers to the type of media. The term "movie" refers to moving pictures. So this is both a film and a movie, just like most anything from Hollywood recorded on non-digital film stock.
The music is beautiful! In my view the story also shows in a subtle way the differences between the East and the West. Thanks for posting! Love Kieslowski's movies.
The movie's atmosphere was vast. It's a shock when you listen to this concert...
Anyway, I think that this movie was disappointing, although still far better than others. It has to do with Kieslowski's failure in giving a message to the audience. OK, there is a great atmosphere, but where is the point?
I don't think Kieslowski failed passing the message through in his films. What he does is offer it to the audience in an incredibly subtle, almost esoteric wrapping, which is so sublime and powerful. Sometimes he walks a very thin line diving the unclerness that pushes the most intimate, bizzare strings in you and unclerness that makes you unsatisfied with what you could read and decipher from the screen. But probably this is one of the aspects making his films so unique and stunning.
I have to admit you're right. They are unique, but only if you consider the atmosphere... There's a message missing (for me). And I personally always like to receive such messages more easily. Anyway, i still feel a cold breeze when I listen to "Marionettes"... :D
"And I personally always like to receive such messages more easily."
Interesting exchange you had here 1 year ago. I think echlyn wrapped it up well. Godfrei Reggio, from Koyaanisqatsi, said something to the point that messages are the concern of propaganda, not art. Maybe the best art is made of slices of life. What is the message in a day of your life? Whatever it is, it's best when it doesn't reduce a whole day to a simple sentence. Life is much larger than that.
There are 2 terms in my language that both reffer to the english term "entertainment".
The first one (Διασκέδαση-Diaskedasi) means entertainment based on unstructured emotions without meaning or purpose.
The second one (Ψυχαγωγία-Psychagogia) means education of the spirit through entertainment. There are many things to be savoured in life, but only few that endow the human spirit with virtue, to make it full. It's psychagogia what I'm looking in Art for, then. :-)
Cool! Following a lead given by Peter Chung a while ago, Man in Black would be a great example od diaskedasi. It has no discernible message other than "you are cool and tough enough, things will turn all right". Directors such as Kieslowsky, Tarkovsky, Reggio and even Chung are definitely into psychagogia. And a higher form of psychagogia, in which the message *is* the piece. The message is too big to fit a sentence. It's spanned in the entire work. It's harder to get because it's richer.

I'd like to believe that too, but it's hard to comprehend it sometimes and consider also that some people don't even care to interpret what they see. If there is no accessibility to what Art is offering you, it's redundant. Ok, sometimes it targets only a particular audience, but how healthy is that?
Anyway, I guess I don't give Kieslowsky much credit! I'll give it one more shot. But I do believe that the other directors you mentioned are far better in this. Especially Tarkovsky!
To be fair with you, I'm not that much of a fun of Kieslowsky either. Been ages since I don't watch a movie by his. And his "thou shalt not kill" movie of the commandments cycle left a bitter taste in my mouth.
That being said, I have to insist that the accessibility of the art is not equivalent to it being reducible to verbalized short sentences. You're influenced by the director's world view anyway. I'll give you an strange example: I suffer from anxiety disorder. And so does my dog.
Somehow my dog seems to have inherited my disordered stance from me. Nothing that I "told" him. Just the way I relate to it, which is certainly an anxious way. When I arrive home, he often starts coughing hard and moving slowly as if he couldn't breath. It's scary stuff.
One issue being worked on the Double Life that I can easily relate to is opposition between personal and professional life. Veronika goes all the way and dies. Veronique settles for less of a bang, and is able to live and love.
But let me insist on what I've already told. I definitely don't like to simplify works of art to squeeze a single drop of truth out of them. Don't get me wrong, a film can influence you on many different levels. However, it's an artist's duty not only to evoke emotions, but also to reveal and offer new points of view, ideas, so that Aristotle's catharsis may occur.
There's not only one message, but the general spiritual participation of the audience. That may bother it and fill it with too many thoughts, only to soothe it in the end after a valuable trip in human nature etc. After all, that's life: a trip full of wonders and experiences.
have you seen more of his films? I think that the the Double Live of Veronique is the most misty one and I must say one of my least favourite, because sometimes it goes a step too far from what I can comprehend, but there are Kieslwoski's films with some major substance and message much clearer, still wrapped up in this windy or hazy style.
why infamous? I'd rather say famous ;) You should search for his earlier films too. He began as a documentalist and started with feature after making many great, awarded documentaries, so his early style was pretty realistic, much closer to the earth than in the double life.
If you listen to what Tarkovsky says about his art, you'll see he's not a symbolist. Perhaps Kieslowski wasn't one, either. Maybe he was trying to convey philosophic beauty, as opposed to a logical message or meaning. That's why I found it daunting to interpret his work, and just admire it for what it is.
If u guys love this movie, u must see Kieslowski's trilogy called Three Colors: Blue White Red. Man its the most amazing trilogy ive ever seen. I saw it in my cinema class and fel in love with it. Watch the trilogy and u'll see!
Grabe, noong pinanood ko ito nangilabot ako dun sa mga sandali na nakita nya sarili nya sa bus at dun sa mga panahon na sumakit yung dibdib nya. Kinilabutan ako sa awit nya. Grabe
stupefacente.. vidi da molto piccola questo film.. e .. ho le sfumature dei colori del film nella mia anima.. è un film tanto di cappello, tanto di lacrime..
Nul autre metteur en scène n'a su, comme Krzysztof Kieslowski, magnifier aussi sublimement l'actrice française Irène Jacob dans ce beau film qu'est "La double vie de Véronique". La musique de Zbigniew Preisner est envoûtante. Cet extrait poignant et tragique du film en témoigne.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how could a healthy-looking student just DIE like that on stage ? INCREDIBLE. You could see her RUN and make love earlier in that movie, with no ill effects.
Then she collided with someone in the street. Then death ? Come on, Krzysztof, you could do better than this
actually it's the other Veroniqua that is aware of her heart condition. This Veroniqua has the same but fails to realise it before she dies on stage...
C'est mangifique - la musique et divine. L'histoire de deux jeunes femmes, l'une française, l'autre polonaise, qui n'ont rien en commun et qui sont pourtant identiques: elles sont gauchères, ont une voix magnifique et la même malformation cardiaque difficilement détectable. Merci bien!
I've the same question as the above poster "dabiri2006": Does anyone know the name of the singer and the composer? Is the film music available on CD? I would like to buy it.
The composer is Zbigniew Preisner. I don't know the singer's name. Preisner and Kieslowki were friends and Priesner changed this score he was working on when Kieslowski died to be his requiem. It's called Requiem dla mojego something. Can't remember the Polish word for friend.
trate de hacer una subtitulacion de este video con la letra original de la cancion pero al codificarlo este quedo muy estrecho, intentare hacerlo otravez, saludos.
Si he de morir, quisiera morir como Weronika!...creo que en la pelicula representa algo que todos podemos sentir, quiza, quien sabe, a veces creo que me pasa lo mismo...es algo inexplicable!...como si hubiera alguien en otro lugar quien te mandara buenas vibras!...no se... es extraño...me hace llorar esta escena!...
czy zna ktoś nazwisko Pani,która przyłącza się do Weroniki po pierwszej minucie? I czy tutaj głos też jest podkładany? Ma cudowny, przepiękny głos.. Jednak nie mogę jej zidentyfikować w aktorach czy też głosach..

Anyway, I think that this movie was disappointing, although still far better than others. It has to do with Kieslowski's failure in giving a message to the audience. OK, there is a great atmosphere, but where is the point?
HitByTime 4 years ago
I don't think Kieslowski failed passing the message through in his films. What he does is offer it to the audience in an incredibly subtle, almost esoteric wrapping, which is so sublime and powerful. Sometimes he walks a very thin line diving the unclerness that pushes the most intimate, bizzare strings in you and unclerness that makes you unsatisfied with what you could read and decipher from the screen. But probably this is one of the aspects making his films so unique and stunning.

I have to admit you're right. They are unique, but only if you consider the atmosphere... There's a message missing (for me). And I personally always like to receive such messages more easily. Anyway, i still feel a cold breeze when I listen to "Marionettes"... :D

"And I personally always like to receive such messages more easily."
Interesting exchange you had here 1 year ago. I think echlyn wrapped it up well. Godfrei Reggio, from Koyaanisqatsi, said something to the point that messages are the concern of propaganda, not art. Maybe the best art is made of slices of life. What is the message in a day of your life? Whatever it is, it's best when it doesn't reduce a whole day to a simple sentence. Life is much larger than that.
That's my message :-)

There are 2 terms in my language that both reffer to the english term "entertainment".
The first one (Διασκέδαση-Diaskedasi) means entertainment based on unstructured emotions without meaning or purpose.
The second one (Ψυχαγωγία-Psychagogia) means education of the spirit through entertainment. There are many things to be savoured in life, but only few that endow the human spirit with virtue, to make it full. It's psychagogia what I'm looking in Art for, then. :-)
HitByTime 2 years ago 2
Cool! Following a lead given by Peter Chung a while ago, Man in Black would be a great example od diaskedasi. It has no discernible message other than "you are cool and tough enough, things will turn all right". Directors such as Kieslowsky, Tarkovsky, Reggio and even Chung are definitely into psychagogia. And a higher form of psychagogia, in which the message *is* the piece. The message is too big to fit a sentence. It's spanned in the entire work. It's harder to get because it's richer.

I'd like to believe that too, but it's hard to comprehend it sometimes and consider also that some people don't even care to interpret what they see. If there is no accessibility to what Art is offering you, it's redundant. Ok, sometimes it targets only a particular audience, but how healthy is that?
Anyway, I guess I don't give Kieslowsky much credit! I'll give it one more shot. But I do believe that the other directors you mentioned are far better in this. Especially Tarkovsky!
HitByTime 2 years ago
To be fair with you, I'm not that much of a fun of Kieslowsky either. Been ages since I don't watch a movie by his. And his "thou shalt not kill" movie of the commandments cycle left a bitter taste in my mouth.
That being said, I have to insist that the accessibility of the art is not equivalent to it being reducible to verbalized short sentences. You're influenced by the director's world view anyway. I'll give you an strange example: I suffer from anxiety disorder. And so does my dog.
Eikinkloster 2 years ago
Somehow my dog seems to have inherited my disordered stance from me. Nothing that I "told" him. Just the way I relate to it, which is certainly an anxious way. When I arrive home, he often starts coughing hard and moving slowly as if he couldn't breath. It's scary stuff.
One issue being worked on the Double Life that I can easily relate to is opposition between personal and professional life. Veronika goes all the way and dies. Veronique settles for less of a bang, and is able to live and love.
Eikinkloster 2 years ago
Interesting point of view and nice example! :-)
But let me insist on what I've already told. I definitely don't like to simplify works of art to squeeze a single drop of truth out of them. Don't get me wrong, a film can influence you on many different levels. However, it's an artist's duty not only to evoke emotions, but also to reveal and offer new points of view, ideas, so that Aristotle's catharsis may occur.
HitByTime 2 years ago
There's not only one message, but the general spiritual participation of the audience. That may bother it and fill it with too many thoughts, only to soothe it in the end after a valuable trip in human nature etc. After all, that's life: a trip full of wonders and experiences.

have you seen more of his films? I think that the the Double Live of Veronique is the most misty one and I must say one of my least favourite, because sometimes it goes a step too far from what I can comprehend, but there are Kieslwoski's films with some major substance and message much clearer, still wrapped up in this windy or hazy style.
daredevil914 4 years ago
No, but i want to. I've heard much of his infamous trilogy.
HitByTime 4 years ago
why infamous? I'd rather say famous ;) You should search for his earlier films too. He began as a documentalist and started with feature after making many great, awarded documentaries, so his early style was pretty realistic, much closer to the earth than in the double life.
daredevil914 4 years ago
Sorry, I thought that infamous means the exact opposite of that. :P Ok, I'll keep that in mind.

HitByTime 4 years ago
If you listen to what Tarkovsky says about his art, you'll see he's not a symbolist. Perhaps Kieslowski wasn't one, either. Maybe he was trying to convey philosophic beauty, as opposed to a logical message or meaning. That's why I found it daunting to interpret his work, and just admire it for what it is.

Nul autre metteur en scène n'a su, comme Krzysztof Kieslowski, magnifier aussi sublimement l'actrice française Irène Jacob dans ce beau film qu'est "La double vie de Véronique". La musique de Zbigniew Preisner est envoûtante. Cet extrait poignant et tragique du film en témoigne.

how could a healthy-looking student just DIE like that on stage ? INCREDIBLE. You could see her RUN and make love earlier in that movie, with no ill effects.
Then she collided with someone in the street. Then death ? Come on, Krzysztof, you could do better than this

actually it's the other Veroniqua that is aware of her heart condition. This Veroniqua has the same but fails to realise it before she dies on stage...

LaBlancheNoire 5 years ago
The composer is Zbigniew Preisner. I don't know the singer's name. Preisner and Kieslowki were friends and Priesner changed this score he was working on when Kieslowski died to be his requiem. It's called Requiem dla mojego something. Can't remember the Polish word for friend.
