La double vie de Véronique

Julie Delpy auditioned for the lead roles. By her own admission, she lost the role when Krzysztof Kieslowski asked her to act sexy and she responded by putting her finger in her ear. Kieslowski ended up casting her in Trois couleurs: Blanc (1994).

After Weronika collapses on stage an extra can be seen running onto the stage, he accidentally pulls down a large spotlight which falls onto some people in the audience.

The American version features a different ending: in the original, Véronique drives to the house where her father is still living and pauses outside to touch a tree. He realizes that she's outside and raises his head from the bench where he's working. The American version features one minute of additional footage showing the father stepping outside the house, calling his daughter, and Véronique running into his arms. Kieslowski shot the additional sequences after the film's premiere at the New York Film Festival in 1991 at the insistence of Harvey Weinstein, who at the time was president of the film's US distributor, Miramax films.
