Films from the Vault with Nat Tobin: The Double Life of Veronique (1991) In-Person

Join Nat for one of his favorite films this fall, followed by a brief discussion.

Véronique 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 Véronique, though the two are not related. The film follows both women as they contend with the ups and downs of their individual lives. Véronique embarks on an unusual romance with Alexandre Fabbri, a puppeteer who may be able to help her with her existential issues.
