Synopsis

The first chapter in Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colors" trilogy, Blue stars Juliette Binoche as Julie, the lone survivor of an automobile crash that killed her husband, a famed composer, and their only child. Despondent, Julie attempts suicide, but she cannot bring herself to take her own life. Instead, she sets about starting over, purging all remnants of her former existence in an attempt to sever her ties to the past. A piece in the trio of films loosely inspired by the colors of the French flag and their corresponding symbolic qualities, the basic focus of Blue is liberty. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

Jason Clark , AMG

The first in famed Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colors" trilogy, this effort representing "Liberty" is a deliberately paced but rewarding look at the process of mourning and redefining one's life after personal tragedy strikes. As a vehicle for French superstar Juliette Binoche (and a mightily effective one), it allows her to convey a wide array of emotions that her previous screen work couldn't accomplish. Told with the director's trademark visual eye, the film also uses music as a catalyst (a major character is a composer as well), with a haunting score by Zbigniew Preisner that was written before the film was made, so the action could follow its rhythms. Followed by Trois Couleurs: White and the Oscar-nominated Trois Couleurs: Red, this series furthered Kieslowski's reputation as a world-class filmmaker and expanded his considerable fan base to include North America. ~ Jason Clark, All Movie Guide
