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.

The Double Life of Véronique quotes

  • Weronika: Is that me?

    Alexandre Fabbri: Of course it's you.

    Weronika: Why two?

    Alexandre Fabbri: Because during performances I handle them a lot. They damage easily.

  • 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.
