The Double Life of Véronique
Why this pick
Its luminous images, recurring intuitions, and delicate sense of unseen correspondence closely echo the soulful, quietly mysterious texture of Red.

Wings of Desire
Why this pick
A tender, metaphysical urban meditation that finds grace in chance encounters and lonely lives, with the same humane openness to invisible bonds.
04
The Hairdresser's Husband
Why this pick
Leconte brings a similarly stylized French sensibility: romantic, slightly fable-like, and attentive to the wistful distance between longing and connection.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Valentine Dussaut studies at University of Geneva and works as a part-time model. She regularly attends ballet classes. She calls her possessive boyfriend in London and plans to meet him. During her part-time job as a model, she poses for a chewing-gum campaign and the photo selected is one of her looking very sad. While walking back home, Auguste, a student neighbour of Valentine's, drops his textbooks and one book falls open at a particular chapter of the Criminal Code, which he notes. Driving back to her apartment, Valentine is distracted and accidentally hits a German Shepherd dog. She tracks down the owner, a retired judge, Joseph Kern, who seems unconcerned. Valentine takes the dog, Rita, to a veterinarian, where she learns that the dog is pregnant. She overcomes the sexual advances made by the ad company's photographer. Later, money is delivered to her apartment from an unnamed sender.
