Tu viendras

Zbigniew Preisner

Ukraine and Europe on my mind — the unification of Europe — and it got me thinking of the brilliant Kieślowski composer. Hearing this lullaby brings light this morning and I’m smiling at the thought of Véronique holding her last note in the rain when The Double Life of Véronique begins. This poetic piece of cinema is about the thrill of life and unpredictability of death — a tale of two Véronique’s played by Irene Jacob. Years ago, Preisner said film music should play a metaphysical role in filmmaking, not just an illustrative one. This beautiful bit of insight has always stayed with me. 🎬
