Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Three little gems "Red," "White," and "Blue" is a trilogy of French films made by Polish-born filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski, widely considered to be the one of the greatest European directors of the late 20th century. Each film follows emotionally damaged characters in modern French society, as they try to deal with their own unique angst. The films are presented in such an honest, gritty manner that they nearly create the appearance of a documentary, as we the viewers get the impression that we are somehow intruding on their lives. We get a voyeur's glimpse into their daily activities and experience with them their joy, excitement and most often, pain. These movies have the traditional European feel. They are simple little tales that play out in an unrushed narrative. Sadly, the only films like this we can see in America are found in the "foreign" section of our local video store. An interesting note about this collection is that each film features beautiful actresses who have subsequently found moderate success in Hollywood (Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy and Irene Jacob). Of the three, I prefer "White," but most critics claim "Red" is the best. Fans of European dramas will love this collection, and anyone with a desire to begin exploring foreign cinema could make no better selection for their first title. Rating: - finally! I do hope that the quality is as good as the VHS. These are wonderful thoughtful films. The details and cinimatography are absolutely beautiful. Rating: - One of the greatest cinematic experiences of the 1990s The Three Colors Trilogy comprises 3 superb films (Bleu/Blanc/Rouge) by the late, great director Krzysztof Kieslowski. The films use the symbolism expressed by the colors of the French flag for their themes (liberty, equality, fraternity). The Three Colors is Kieslowski's crowning achievement, and Rouge, his final film, is probably his masterpiece. That's saying something, because some of his previous films (Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique) are among the greatest films of the last 20 years! I saw Bleu (with Juliette Binoche) a long time ago and was very impressed. It's a sad but beautful movie, about a composer's widow and how she copes with life after his death. Blanc (with Julie Delpy) is about life for a man after he is unceremoniously dumped by his wife; it's the lightest and most comedic of the three films. Rouge (with Irene Jacob) is my favorite and explores the melancholy (and platonic) relationship that develops between a young lady and an older man. Jacob is quite simply a goddess, and if you can tear your eyes away from her long enough to pay attention to the movie, you'll find this is a thematically rich film with solid, subtle performances (Kieslowski was nominated for a Best Director Oscar for Rouge in 1995). I am lucky enough to own a DVD of Rouge which has a ton of extras (making of, deleted scenes, soundtrack samples, trailers, film-making lesson by the director, Cannes festival interviews, extended interviews with editor, director, and sigh Irene Jacob). I believe the upcoming Miramax DVDs retain these features (with subtitles), which are in French. More Americans should experience these films. They are so well-made and lovingly crafted that they put to shame all the multi-million dollar, shallow, explosion-fests routinely shovelled out by Hollywood nowadays. Next to Stanley Kubrick and Akira Kurosawa, Krzysztof Kieslowski's death in the 1990s is one of the most tragic for cinema. Younger filmmakers should hope one day to approach even an iota of the MANY brilliant masterpieces created of these film masters. Watch The Three Colors Trilogy! This is film-making at its finest and totally a 5 STAR recommendation!
