The first of Polish filmmaker’s acclaimed Three Colours Trilogy, inspired by the French Revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity and the French flag, the Tricolour, Blue stars Juliette Binoche as the wife of a celebrated composer who loses her husband and child in a car accident. Depressed and detached, Julie is nevertheless drawn back towards life. The cinematography by Kieslowski’s regular collaborator Sławomir Idziak is simply transcendent.
Three Colours: Blue won the Golden Lion for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival.
This film will also play as part of the Film Studies: Creating Colour series.
