Krzysztof Kieslowski had very unique way of showing the world and its inhabitants and their little idiosyncrasies. he had such a romantic way of seeing everyday life. watching his movies make me realize that i was born about a decade too late and on the wrong continent. i doubt that france or poland or the rest of europe for that matter are still as innocent as there were depicted in his movies. granted, nothing is like it is in the movies. especially not the people. neither in appearance or attitude. irene jacob is so amazingly sexy and alluring in the double life of veronique and in Red.
kieslowski is director who put forth a romantic purity of environment, situation and character. the woman of my dreams is irene jacob circa 1991. if only i could turn back the clock from right now to then.
alas i am too old now though. i feel the weight of memories upon my heart and body. the pressure of too many failed chances at happiness and fulfillment. ive gone from casual imbiber of of temporary trysts to hardened and calloused broken hearted hater of passion. i can look at these movies, now almost 20 years old and appreciate all of the beauty and artistry involved and also know that none of it will ever exist again. i have missed my chance(s).
It's NEVER too late. You are beautiful.
