Curzon/Artificial Eye is preparing a 4K Blu-ray release of Krzysztof Kieślowski's The Double Life of Véronique (1991), starring Irène Jacob, Halina Gryglaszewska, Kalina Jedrusik, Aleksander Bardini, and Wladyslaw Kowalski. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on April 3.

Description: The film follows two young women, both called Veronica, who seem to have a single existence, albeit in different countries. They are identical, sharing mannerisms, predilections and musical talent. They nurture ambition, hopes and loves, and suffer from the same rare heart disease. Kieślowski's oblique, luminously photographed and hauntingly scored film is an enigmatic tale of double identity.

  • NEW 4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM
