My 150 Favorite Movies - #122 and #121
Three Colors: Blue (1993) and Three Colors: Red (1994)
Comprising the first and third part of a trilogy from director Krzysztof Kieslowski (the middle part White is also excellent), this very affecting and intricate work depicts Kieslowski's recurring theme that people are interconnected in ways that we can barely fathom. The trilogy takes it's name in part from the colors of the French flag and what they represent: liberty, equality, fraternity. Considered a masterpiece immediately upon arrival, these films explore through the minutiae of everyday life, the drama that is unfolding within. With stunning performances from Juliette Binoche (Blue) and Irene Jacob and Jean-Louis Trintignant (Red), cinematic beauty has rarely achieved such an apex.
