Amazing film, amazing performance of Irène Jacob ... Krzysztof Kieślowski was a real genious ! Superbe film, superbe interprétation d'Irène Jacob ... Krzysztof Kieślowski était vraiment un génie. Il manque au paysage filmique actuel.
An *extraordinary* scene, this. It feels as if someone has just pulled away the carpet from under you (the viewer). A wonderful, luminous performance by the Swiss actress Irène Jacob, plus, of course, Zbigniew Preisner's music. One of the most moving films I have ever seen.
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. Music by the great Zbigniew Preisner.
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 !
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.. la sua voce così soave incanta..
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.
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.
I loved the movie when I saw it, some 15 years ago... But looking at this now... the guy takes her pulse and simply says "she is dead"?? WTF? They didn't have CPR in Poland?
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"
O voi che siete in piccioletta barca, desiderosi d'ascoltar, seguiti dietro al mio legno che cantando varca, tornate a riveder li vostri liti: non vi mettete in pelago, ché forse, perdendo me, rimarreste smarriti. L'acqua ch'io prendo già mai non si corse; Minerva spira, e conducemi Appollo, e nove Muse mi dimostran l'Orse.
A friend of mine may arrange the things: concert, deadly event and media coverage. But he charges a lot of money... ^_^ So, just keep loving music and forget death! :-)
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
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.
"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 :-)
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!

@magdalenka1972 - it`s good, even a great movie, but probably the best movie in history of cinema is.... "Saragossa Manuscript", just my personal opinion.
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...
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.
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.
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.

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.

Amazing film, amazing performance of Irène Jacob ...
Krzysztof Kieślowski was a real genious !
Superbe film, superbe interprétation d'Irène Jacob ...
Krzysztof Kieślowski était vraiment un génie. Il manque au paysage filmique actuel.
This song is from another universe... it's unbelieveble ❤
It's such a beautiful, haunting song coupled with the mesmerizing, fresh-faced, unique beauty of Irene Jacob... like Weronika's swan's last song...

Music by the great Zbigniew Preisner.
I have never seen this movie... But now I'm dying to see it!!! Hauntingly beautiful. Simply overwhelming. Incredible...
One of the most haunting and beautiful pieces of music i've ever heard. Amazing.
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 !
I love this film, one of my favorites,and Preisners music is so moving.
incredible just incredible make me cry is beautiful song and this is a beautiful kieslovski's film
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..
la sua voce così soave incanta..
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.
Thanks fot the translation.. This music is part of my life since 1995
Aleksander Bardini was excellent as the Conductor in this scene !

One of the most incredible and most beautiful melodies in the world. I'm enchanted...
i agree with you its the most beautiful music and film i have ever seen.
song of love... Great Polish Director, Great Polish Composer, Great Polish Movie !!!
very beautiful voice very powerful and emotional
Umas das mais belas cenas da história do cinema. Explendida fotografia, explendida música. Viva Kieslowski e viva Irene Jacob
This song gives me the chills every time I hear it. Perfect music. Extraordinary voice. And of course great film.
Que buenisima es Irene Jacob, en esta peli y en otras es lo mejor de Kieslowki
I love the lines from Dante in this....so well put together!!!
"Requiem dla mojego przyjaciela" :)
I loved the movie when I saw it, some 15 years ago...
But looking at this now... the guy takes her pulse and simply says "she is dead"?? WTF? They didn't have CPR in Poland?
increible voz...te hace chinita la piel...es el extasis...
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"
Perfect. one of the best
Zbigniew Preisner- Preisner's Music- "Enfer" :)
I love it too.
Irene Jacob, so beautiful, so graceful!
Krzysztof Kieslowski, immortal!
absolutelly amazing!! no words describe the feeling...
Such a beautiful masterpiece!
This movie has the best soundtrack I ever heard
Perfection!
Sublime. Extraordinarias las películas de Kieslowki y la música de Zbigniew Preisner.
Pocas películas me han marcado tento como ésta. La escena es indescriptible
Beautiful.
O voi che siete in piccioletta barca,

Fantastic.
Wonderful!
A friend of mine may arrange the things: concert, deadly event and media coverage. But he charges a lot of money... ^_^
So, just keep loving music and forget death!

I am sure she is ! Take care and keep singing !
The best movie ever made!

Ik zag net de film, een flinke verschuiving in mijn top 10!

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

was never coursed before
Minerva blows
Apollo pilots me
And the nine Muses

Thank you adler...I hope this was my valentine.

ah ulan Weronika... yaktırdın yine....
A very strange observation.. very good.

She is shown earlier in the movie to have a heart condition.

Singer: Elżbieta Towarnicka Friend in Polish: przyjaciel/druh
> Requiem dla mojego przyjaciela
De rien. Je suis un peu obsede par Kieslowski en ce moment. J'ai la trilogie qui va arriver cet semaine d'Amazon.
muy lindo n_n
where can I download this movie? (with subtitles)
No, it's a polish soprano singer Elzbieta Towarnicka.
@h1e2x3 wow thankyou for the words
yes, but remember after the audition when she gets winded and has chest pains? I think she was aware of her condition.
@h1e2x3 With all my heart thankyou
hi..i'm searching for the score of this song..(and the song for the unification of europe)if anyone has them..that would be perfect.! ~_~
wich song is that!!? it´s so beuty!

but Veronica really lived a full life......she "left" just on the climax....
Je regrette de vous!
@giocarte Rzeczywiście, brzmi bardzo podobnie.
Righ, it's really similar.
Anyone know who was the original singer of this?
Sorry, wasn't very clear. It wasn't this score from this movie, but some other project years later.
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.
@skatalent to nie ona spiewa lecz pani Elzbieta Towarnicka
@h1e2x3 Please could you send the words to me. I love it so much, I know its probably inconvenient.

Movie didn't do much for me. I saw it when it came out in NYC, and it seemed to be all surface effects.
