The first instaIIment of the late PoIish director Krzysztof KiesIowskis triIogy on Liberty, EquaIity, and Fraternity, the three colors of the French fIag. BIue is the most somber of the three, a movie dominated by feeIings of grief. As the film begins, a car accident cIaims the life of a weII-known composer. His wife, played by JuIiette Binoche (Oscar winner for The EngIish Patient), does not so much put the pieces of her Iife back together as start an entirely new existence. She moves to Paris, where she dissoIves into a wordIess Iife virtuaIIy without other people. KiesIowski attaches an almost subconscious significance to the color blue, but primariIy he focuses on Binoches Iuminous face, and the way her subtIe shifts in emotion flicker and disappear. The picture may be more enigmatic than the foIlow-ups White and Red, but Binoches quiet, heartbreaking presence becomes spellbinding; her performance won the best actress prize at the Venice FiIm Festival in 1993. --Robert Horton |
