In the first film of the Three Colors trilogy, Juliette Binoche gives a tour de force performance as Julie, a woman reeling from the tragic death of her husband and young daughter. Shot in sapphire tones and set to an extraordinary operatic score, BLUE is an overwhelming sensory experience.
The second of the Three Colors trilogy, WHITE — which chronicles the elaborate revenge of a Polish hairdresser living in Paris — manages to be both a ticklish dark comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe and a sublime reverie about twisted love.
Krzysztof Kieślowski closes his Three Colors trilogy in grand fashion with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance, an intimate look at forged connections, and a splendid final statement from a remarkable filmmaker at the height of his powers.
