The first in Krzysztof Kieslowski's 'Three Colours Trilogy'.
This film represents one of the values of the French Revolutionaries: Equality. While not the most entertaining film, the story is very sound, and there is enough style in it to beat 10 mainstream Hollywood films. The premise is that a composer's wife loses her husband and 7 year old daughter in a car crash. The story focuses on the wife's struggle to return to a normal lifestyle, but becomes so enthralled by her own world that she doesn't accept others in to her life. She does have morales however, and judges no one, not even a lady who is found to have been having an affair with her husband for a number of years and is pregnant with his child. A standout moment is when the landlady of her residence asks her to sign a petition to oust a known prostitute from the building, needing everyone to agree for it to go through. Juliette refuses, saying that it does not affect her in the slightest and she doesn't want to ruin another person's life. The friendship then developed by two completely different people (Juliette and the prostitute) takes up a large segment of the film, with each doing menial favours for each other with great social rewards. The only criticism I can make is that the ending leaves a lot of questions. I own the other two in the trilogy and plan to watch them soon. If this one's anything to go by, it should be interesting! The DVD also had an interview with Kieslowski which is well worth a mention. In 7 minutes he describes the extent they had to go to to film a 5 second, seemingly irrelevant segment about a sugar cube. He got his assistant to search for half a day to find the right sugar cube which would fill with coffee in around 5 seconds, not accepting one that would fill in 3 or 8 seconds. That's the extent of the work that was put in to ensuring that the film was composed exactly to plan. |
