Three Colours: Red (1994)

Directed by Krysztof Kieslowksi this film part of the Three Colours trilogy stars Irene Jacob and Jean-Louis Trintignant. A young woman living in Geneva and working as a model becomes friends with a retired judge.

The plot of this film is a great musing on the nature of our interconnected lives, the unforeseen consequences of our actions and the philosophy of law. There is also more than a hint of a religious undertone to this film with hints at the idea of destiny, life repeating itself and the judge character as a potential god figure. This may be my favourite film of the trilogy and there are some nice visual elements included by the director such as the repeated use of characters looking up or down on each other.

5/5
