My favorite biopic explores the reality and un-reality of famed violinist Jacqueline Du pre'. The cheeky artistic twist of this movie seems to be Jackie and Hilarys supposedly supernatural connection, the execution of which is (as the title suggests) haunting and beautiful. Also watch out for the story and perspective as it is split in two. Once from Hilary (Jackie's long-suffering and less famous twin) and once again from Jackie's point of view.
I don't know if Jacqueline was given to psychic connections to people in real life, and honestly I don't care. It definitely added elements both thematic and supplied a thriving back light to the story.
In real life Jacqueline, virtuoso/genius, descends into the depths after contracting multiple sclorosis. Depressing, though true, and the disease is heartbreakingly portrayed on film. Scenic and brilliant, Hilary and Jackie is a solid watch; no matter how haunting you find the added elements of psychic phenomina to an other wise straight-forward biopic.
