La double vie de Véronique (1991)
Veronique starts in a tight red scarf standing in a doorway, close-up, looking directly at the camera like she’s hiding something. She’s slim, brunette, early 20s, moves into a bedroom with bare shoulders lying on a bed near a window — dim lighting, intimate vibe. Another woman joins her in a living room with a bookshelf, both talking casually at a table, same age, similar build, dark hair. Later she’s alone in a bathroom applying makeup while wearing headphones, mirror shot, medium frame, focused on her face and upper body. Final shot is her outdoors in wide frame, no scarf, no context — just walking away from the camera. Whole thing has a quiet, voyeuristic feel, like you’re catching moments from her secret life.
