Three Colours: Blue
(1993)
Directed by Krzysztof
Kieslowski this film stars Juliette Binoche, Benoit Regent and
Emmanuelle Riva. The wife of a famous French composer recovers from
the death of her husband and daughter in a car crash.
This is the first part
of a trilogy of films on France and French revolutionary ideals with
a plot that advances the fairly common theme that no person can be an
island. Clearly this is a story of a person coming to terms with
grief and while it is well handled I am not sure that it offers much
new to a well covered subject. Where the film is excellent is in it's
execution, the film makes great use of colour and especially music to
highlight themes as well as tie the story together.
4/5
