When people mention that classic movie "Days on the Clouds", they take it for granted that it is a Sophie Marceau movie.
Actually, there are four stories in this film, and Sophie Marceau only starred in one of them.
In this movie, there is also a famous actress who has made a great "sacrifice" for art, and that is Yelena Jacob.
Elena Jacob is regarded as a goddess by many fans who like her, and her unique temperament is one of the most beautiful and ascetic actresses in the minds of many people.
Elena Jacob was born in the suburbs of Paris, France, and is a famous French actress.
Born into a family of high intellectuals, she did not follow in her father's footsteps as a physicist to become a physicist, nor did she become a psychologist like her mother.
As the youngest child in the family and the only girl, she was pampered. She has loved acting since she was a child, and she has participated in some small performances since she was 9 years old, and even began to perform on stage at the age of 11.
Her family gave her enough support for her favorite interests and things, so a few years later, Elena was admitted to the Geneva Academy of Arts, and formed a small theater troupe with her friends, which was frequently active on the school stage.
In 1984, Elena completed her studies in Geneva and returned to Paris to continue her studies, entering the prestigious French National Theatre Academy. Can it be said that he was born as an absolute "Lianjiazi" (professional actor)?
But her acting career did not go as smoothly as expected, and in 1987, although she was favored by the French film master Louis Mahler to participate in the film "Goodbye, Children", but only played another small role that is difficult to impress, although this film later won seven awards at the César Award and two awards at the Venice Film Festival. However, it didn't help Yelena.
So in the following years, Yelena took on several movies one after another, but most of them belonged to the kind of people who had a mediocre response.
The turning point of fate came in 1990, when Elena received an invitation to audition, which required her to go to the United States, and it was the famous Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski who threw out the olive branch, which made Elena think that it was an opportunity to go abroad.
And the big director's audition this time is to find a heroine for his film "Two Flowers".
Obviously, Elena auditioned and won the opportunity to become the heroine of the film "Two Flowers", so there is also this wonderful work that we deserve to put on the hard drive.
"Two Flowers" also pushed the 25-year-old Yelena to the pinnacle of her life, she amazed and shocked France, first winning the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, followed by a César Award nomination.
The movie "Two Flowers" tells the story of two girls, but they don't owe each other, which is very strange. What's even stranger is that these two people, one lives in Poland and the other was born in France, they have the same appearance, the same age, and even their names are exactly the same, they are both called Veronica.
In addition, they all like **, with sweet voices and can sing.
Veronica, who is in Poland, is very fond of singing, and her high notes are particularly outstanding, and she often has a strange feeling in her heart, that is, she does not live alone in this world, she always seems to have another self living in the distance.
Could this be a parallel world? No, it's not science fiction. But there is a person who is exactly like himself. That's Pineronica, who was born in France.
Poland's Pinenutica didn't get to meet France's Pineapple Ronica because she died of a heart attack while singing on stage. At this time, Pineica, who was far away in France and was having an in-depth communication with her boyfriend, suddenly felt very empty and sad.
Since then, she has often remembered a very sad tune in her life, which is the favorite song of Pineica in Poland.
Later, she fell in love with a children's book writer, and when she watched some ** from Poland filmed by the writer, she found a woman who was very similar to herself, and then she deeply believed that there was another self in the world.
There is nothing particularly sensational and explosive in the film, it just tells the story of two girls in such a plain way, but it is very strange, and there is a very wonderful feeling that always haunts my heart.
Then I will have this question in my heart, is there really another self in the world, who is living his own life in other countries or cities? Have you ever fantasized about these things? And then sometimes I have some inexplicable feelings and feelings that seem to belong to me.
Yelena is really beautiful in the film, and she really amazes the beauty of the years. It is deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience, and even more so in the hearts of director Krzysztof Kieślowski.
Therefore, when Kieślowski said his final farewell to his directorial career, as the last "Red" of the "Blue-White-Red Trilogy", he chose Elena again, and his curtain call must have Yelena, and this "Red" is a farewell gift tailored for Elena. In the second year after the filming of "Red", the Italian national treasure master Antonioni's "Days on the Clouds" invited Elena again.
Although after that, Yelena's works were not as famous as "Twin Flowers", "Red" and "Days on the Clouds", but with these three works, it is actually enough!
