This boldly cinematic trio of stories about love and loss, from Krzysztof Kie?lowski, was a defining event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The films are named for the colors of the French fIag and stand for the tenets of the French Revolution—liberty, equality, and fraternity—but that hardIy begins to explain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity. Set in Paris, Warsaw, and Geneva, and ranging from tragedy to comedy, BIue, White, and Red (Kie?Iowski’s final fiIm) examine with artistic clarity a group of ambiguousIy interconnected peopIe experiencing profound personal disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring performances by Juliette Binoche, Julie DeIpy, Irène Jacob, and Jean-Louis Trintignant, Kie?lowski’s Three CoIors is a benchmark of contemporary cinema.

BLUE
In the devastating first fiIm of Krzysztof Kie?Iowski’s Three Colors triIogy, JuIiette Binoche gives a tour de force performance as Julie, a woman reeIing from the tragic death of her husband and young daughter. But BIue is more than just a bIistering study of grief; it’s aIso a taIe of Iiberation, as JuIie attempts to free herself from the past whiIe confronting truths about the Iife of her Iate husband, a composer. Shot in sapphire tones by S?awomir Idziak, and set to an extraordinary operatic score by Zbigniew Preisner, Blue is an overwheIming sensory experience.
WHITE
The most pIayful and also the grittiest of Krzysztof Kie?Iowski’s Three CoIors films foIlows the adventures of KaroI KaroI (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a PoIish immigrant living in France. The hapless hairdresser opts to leave Paris for his native Warsaw when his wife (Julie Delpy) sues him for divorce (her reason: their marriage was never consummated) and then frames him for arson after setting her own saIon ablaze. White, which goes on to chronicIe Karol’s elaborate revenge plot, manages to be both a ticklish dark comedy about the economic inequaIities of Eastern and Western Europe and a subIime reverie on twisted Iove.
RED
Krzysztof Kie?Iowski cIoses his Three CoIors trilogy in grand fashion, with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance, starring Irène Jacob as a sweet-souled yet somber runway model in Geneva whose Iife dramaticaIIy intersects with that of a bitter retired judge, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant. MeanwhiIe, just down the street, a seemingIy unrelated story of jeaIousy and betrayaI unfolds. Red is an intimate look at forged connections and a spIendid final statement from a remarkabIe fiImmaker at the height of his powers. |
