I tried to like this movie. I saw it years ago and was not impressed. I then saw Krzysztof Kieslowski's trilogy Blue, White, and Red which I thought were wonderful so I thought I'd give Veronique another chance. Well it wasn't any better the second time. The movie had no substance. It seems to be enamored with Irene Jacob's beauty lingering on shots of her face. The movie is worthwhile for that, Ms Jacob is indeed a beauty, but it doesn't carry the movie. There were glimpses of what was to come in his subsequent movies though not enough to fill the movie. If you like to look at beautiful women's faces this is the movie for you. I like a bit more from movies, some soul to flesh out the face.
