D

Mostly captivating, Double Life's metaphysical meditation occasionally verges on silly self-absorption; at its worst, the movie's solemn search for profundities could almost be a parody of European artiness.
Even at its most dubious though, the movie is unfailingly alluring; its golden, lambent [beauty] remains rapturous throughout. Lyrical and elliptical, the movie can also be read simply as an ode [to] its lead: Jacob's Veronique is clearly an idealized projection of feminine perfection, so perfect that Kieslowski had to make two of her.
Muse and artist were rewarded equally upon the film's release, as the movie won Jacob a Best Actress award at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival and garnered Kieslowski the best reviews of his career at the time.
