What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, Krzysztof Kieślowski wanted to cast American actress Andie MacDowell as Veronique and Italian film director Nanni Moretti as Alexander Faber.
- The role of Veronique was also offered to actress Juliette Binoche, who later landed the lead role in Krzysztof Kieślowski's “Three Colors: Blue,” as well as a cameo in “Three Colors: White” and “Three Colors: Red.”
- Kieślowski offered the role of Veronique to Russian actress Natalia Negoda, but she did not know French.
- Financial difficulties prevented Kieślowski from realizing a postmodern trick in this film with multiple endings that would vary from cinema to cinema, highlighting the infinite branching of the tree of fate. In one cinema, the film was planned to end with the scene that ultimately became the penultimate one: the puppeteer tells Veronique the story of two mysteriously connected lives, in one of which she recognizes her own. In another scenario, Veronique would return to Krakow, accidentally catching the eye of a young singer who resembles both her and the Polish Veronique, thereby expanding the theme of doubling to a 'tripling' and hinting at its potential depth.
