This boldly cinematic trio of stories about love and loss from Krzysztof Kie?lowski (The Double Life of V?ronique) was a defining event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The films were named for the colors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French Revolution?liberty, equality, and fraternity?but this hardly begins to explain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity. Set in Paris, Warsaw, and Geneva, and ranging from tragedy to comedy, Blue, White, and Red (Kie?lowski?s final film) examine with artistic clarity a group of ambiguously interconnected people experiencing profound personal disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring performances by such actors as Juliette Binoche (Summer Hours), Julie Delpy (Before Sunset), Ir?ne Jacob (The Double Life of V?ronique), and Jean-Louis Trintignant (Z), Kie?lowski?s Three Colors is a benchmark of contemporary cinema. Blue In the devastating first film of the Three Colors trilogy, Juliette Binoche gives a tour de force performance as Julie, a woman reeling from the tragic deaths of her husband and young daughter. But Blue is more than just a blistering study of grief; it?s also a tale of liberation, as Julie learns truths about her late composer husband?s life and attempts to free herself of the past. Shot in icily gorgeous tones by S?awomir Idziak (The Double Life of V?ronique) and set to an extraordinary operatic score by Zbigniew Preisner (The Secret Garden), Blue is an overwhelming sensory experience. 1993 98 minutes Color 2.0 surround In French with English subtitles 1.85:1 aspect ratio White The most playful but also the grittiest of Kie?lowski?s Three Colors films follows the adventures of Karol Karol (The Pianist?s Zbigniew Zamachowski), a Polish immigrant living in France. The hapless hairdresser opts to leave Paris for his native Warsaw after his wife (Julie Delpy) sues him for divorce (her reason: he was never able to perform in bed) and then frames him for arson after setting
The movies are masterpieces and there is no need to add anything to reviews you can find all over the net. Easily top movies of the 1990s.However this Criterion release has serious faults. Blue is misframed. In one scene you can even see microphone getting into the frame, but the whole movie is affected (not just select scenes). White has an audio fault, where the encoded surround will not play properly. Criterion has released corrected White disc, however it is unclear if the Amazon stock has been replaced..
Around here, red, white and blue are known as the colours of the American flag, and they are also the colours of the French flag. But they also are the names of the late Krzysztof Kieslowski's brilliant "Three Colours" trilogy, which has a delicacy that most directors can only dream of. Beautiful, painful, artfully shot, it's a visual feast for anyone who has an appreciation for beauty, subtlety and filmmaking.In "Bleu," Julie de Courcy (Juliette Binoche) and her family are in a car accident when their bra..
11/26/11: ADDED REVIEW OF CRITERION BLU-RAY EDITION ***The late great Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski cleverly "adapted" the three French ideals -- liberty, equality, fraternity -- into three thought-provoking modern-day dramas about people who cope with personal losses and tragedies. In BLUE, the first of the trilogy, a widow tries to set herself free (and gain liberty) from her emotional baggages. The second film, WHITE, is about a jilted man's outrageous plot to get even (thus, equality) with his e..
