Hamilton 401, Columbia University
Take a break from midterms and join Columbia University Central and Eastern European (CUCEE) Club for the screening of The Double Life of Veronique, a 1991 French and Polish-language drama film directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski. Veronique (Irene Jacob) is a beautiful young French woman who aspires to be a renowned singer; Weronika (also Jacob) lives in Poland, has a similar career goal and looks identical to Veronique, though the two are not related. The film follows both women as they contend with the ups and downs of their individual lives, with Veronique embarking on an unusual romance with Alexandre Fabbri (Philippe Volter), a puppeteer who may be able to help her with her existential issues.
Pizza will be served! The screening is free and open to the public.
