going pretty well i think

a long time ago i watched a random VHS copy of a great movie that i ended up falling in love with.  i was in a french movie phase that was brought about by some unknown and unrememberable source.  well, now, 10+ years later i decided to look up that old inspirational and entertaining movie, The Double Life of Veronique.   it makes me wonder if there is some sort of soul-styled duality.  some sort of gigantic connecting force in nature.

is there a dopplegänger out there for everyone?  or is it just a few people out there who happen to exist at the same time as their other?  perhaps some sort of life essence that is divided at birth or conception or whatever.  bah, who knows.

the director, Krzysztof Kieslowski (two links there), has done quite a few other things that i enjoy a lot as well. the Red, Blue, White trilogy is quite out of this world.  Where as the Dekalog is entertaining and thought provoking as well as a testament to great screen writing and directing.  soon as i find the time to sit around and watch the Double Life of Veronique, i plan to review it in depth.  plus being that its a criterion collection edition i know its going to be badass.
