心靈感通的直覺本應難以表達,但電影大師奇斯洛夫斯基利用詩意唯美的影像,配以仿如天外梵音的音樂,將這個敏銳而神秘的故事娓娓道來。兩位擁有相同樣貌的女子,素未謀面卻心有靈犀:波蘭女高音維朗妮卡在台上詠唱詩篇,當場耗盡生命也不自知;一股莫名傷悲湧進法國音樂教師維朗妮卡的心坎,提醒她要遠離危險的音樂之路……當年艾蓮謝歌留在暖黃菲林上的溫柔身影,今天依然美得叫觀眾心碎。
Irene Jacob took home the Best Actress award at Cannes (1991) for her portrayal
of both Veronika, a Polish singer, and Veronique, a French
music teacher. They look identical, share the same passions,
but are completely unaware of each other's existence. Just
after the untimely death of Veronika, a string of events
provokes Veronique to substantiate what, she believes,
could be her dual subsistence. Krzysztof Kieslowski abandons a traditional
cause-and-effect narrative structure and sensually pieces
together the many small and seemingly unrelated details
through the most lyrical and exquisite images one can imagine.
