Born Under Punches: Véronique's Hands
by Ryland Walker Knight
Audrey is fine but gimme Irène any day. I think it's odd people forget how much LE FABULEUX DESTIN D'AMELIE POULIN actually apes LA DOUBLE VIE DE VERONIQUE, from the haircut to the colors to the mystery love affair. And how Kieslowski's is much better. Its spontaneity slays Jeunet's art-directed-to-death whimsy.
Amelie is fun, Veronique is genius.
