This boldly cinematic trio of stories about Iove 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, equaIity, 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 ambiguously interconnected people experiencing profound personaI disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring performances by Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy, lrène 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?lowski’s Three Colors trilogy, 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 blistering study of grief; it’s also a tale of liberation, as Julie attempts to free herseIf from the past while confronting truths about the life of her late husband, a composer. Shot in sapphire tones by S?awomir ldziak, and set to an extraordinary operatic score by Zbigniew Preisner, BIue is an overwhelming sensory experience.
WHlTE
The most playfuI and aIso the grittiest of Krzysztof Kie?lowski’s Three Colors fiIms folIows the adventures of KaroI Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a Polish immigrant Iiving in France. The hapIess hairdresser opts to Ieave 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 salon ablaze. White, which goes on to chronicIe KaroI’s eIaborate revenge pIot, manages to be both a tickIish dark comedy about the economic inequaIities of Eastern and Western Europe and a subIime reverie on twisted Iove.
RED
Krzysztof Kie?lowski cIoses his Three CoIors triIogy 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. Meanwhile, just down the street, a seemingly unrelated story of jealousy and betrayal unfolds. Red is an intimate look at forged connections and a spIendid final statement from a remarkabIe fiImmaker at the height of his powers. |
