About this product

Product Information

In the first part of acclaimed Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's extraordinary THREE COLOURS trilogy, BLUE represents Liberty (of Equality and Fraternity) in the French flag and national motto. Julie (Juliette Binoche) is a young, musically gifted Frenchwoman who has just lost her daughter and renowned composer-husband Patrice (Claude Duneton) in a tragic car accident. During her long physical and emotional convalescence, a journalist questions Julie about the widespread rumor that she's the actual composer of all Patrice's work. She rebuffs the journalist's inquiry regarding her husband's music, but she does not deny it. Upon leaving the hospital, Julie takes a flat in Paris and struggles to start anew--but not until she destroys Patrice's final unfinished work--a huge symphony for 12 orchestras, to be played at a gala celebrating the upcoming unification of 12 European nations. However, another copy surfaces, and gradually, as Julie discovers some surprising secrets about her husband's life, she's drawn back to the music, and the pleasures of existence. Kieslowski uses color as metaphor ingeniously, adding immense emotional depth to the story that is unfolding on screen. As Julie, Binoche is a striking cinematic presence. Her transition from a destroyed widow to a woman who has learned to embrace life gives BLUE the heart and soul that makes it a powerful, moving work.

A film that hasn't dated too badly, but is quite self-conscious and a bit poncy. Also all seen through the male gaze...
A film that hasn't dated too badly, but is quite self-conscious and a bit poncy. Also all seen through the male gaze... Watched with my 15-year old, and the bit in a brothel was challenging but just about acceptable. Unneccessary to the plot really, but there you go!

Good international movie!!
Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, which explores the French Revolutionary ideals of Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood, are landmarks of world cinema. 'Three Colours Blue' was an immediate success, winning the top prizes at the 1993 Venice film festival and unanimous praise from critics and audiences the world over. Julie (Juliette Binoche) loses her composer husband and their child in a car crash and, though devastated, she tries to make a new start, away from her country house and a would-be lover. But music still surrounds her and she uncovers some unpleasant facts about her husband's life. Slowly Julie learns to live again, as music and the gift of creativity prove to be a healing force.

Trois Couleurs: Bleu
This is a classic trilogy. I had bought white and red some time ago an needed this to completer the set, although blue is the first in the set! It’s easy to underrate Blue because it is somewhat eclipsed by the much more accessible white and red. The overall impression from the start is that it is a cold, bleak and rather downbeat film – an impression enforced by the soundtrack that lingers, but Blue actually ends on a very optimistic reflective note. There is a lot to absorb in Blue and its classic contenental cinematic style shows it’s a film of great depth and meaning that stands as one of the most accomplished films made by Kieslowski.
