Review of The Double Life of Véronique (1991) by Marjorie Baumgarten for Austin Chronicle — 16 Aug 2000

This movie achieves a rare grace: it tells a story that could only exist in the form of a movie (or, perhaps, as a piece of poetry). The story is told not so much in customary narrative structures, but in glimpses, hints, and intimations.

It has a way of taking the solid and making it chimerical.
