Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Alexsander F As Fellini would say, ‘first and foremost, a film is a work of art, a painting in movement...’ and this film is the perfect representation of that, a true work of art. A French film, with a French look and a beautiful soundtrack. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Moises S It is a good movie very enjoyable to watch given all the visual efforts put into it. The plot is not complicated, actually a bit plain but it gives a good perspective of what freedom means for a non sad widow. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Kyle M Per generally viewed experiences, going through film trilogies tend to pick up how they ascend after each chapter that accumulates in the final third of the singular narrative, divided into scope-worthy defining differentiations. The usual case is that the finale, in general terms regarding how other series spanned, tends to be the best by further polishing the praiseworthy qualities manifested from the beginning while flexing in some reminiscent feeling, reflecting how much the journey absorbed our worthwhile engagement. Also per usual is how the first film would go on an expositional pace to establish the essential rooting that’ll grow in the succeeding chapters, also ultimately setting up first impression that shall too grow as it builds. Krzysztof Kieslowski’s renowned, supposedly finest hour “Three Colours” trilogy been ranked as one of cinema’s greatest films, collectively based off the French Revolutionary ideals behind the symbolic national flag as emotionally associative, thematic defined hefts. First installment “Blue”, aligned towards liberty in emotional sense being melancholy, sad and depressed, finds widow Julie as a haunted sole survivor of an auto wreckage that claimed the life of her composer husband and five-year-old daughter. Her grief has proven overwhelming understandably over the sudden loss as her initial way of dealing with suppressing the pain, wisely backed out of her suicidal attempt in the beginning when still healing, is isolating herself in her apartment, withdrawing from her relationships (her only family being her dementia mother). However, her daily routines attracted unexpected human connections from an old faithful friend with unrequited love to a witness of the accident who found a token of remembrance, and befriending an exotic dancer with mutual emotional support over their life dealings, then confronting her late-husband’s frequent mistress. Julie, delicately performed by Juliette Binoche as a testament to her stature, can be seen as a demonstrative conduit that meditates on grief. Such ordeal has different approaches based off of disarray emotions in an uncertain trance, processing the unfathomable suddenness in wondering how to muster whatever strength to move forward. Anyone that gone through the five stages of grief, which the first three were subtly hinted through the second setting as she heals from her injuries, can identify as well reflect in hindsight what sort of beneficial effects that lies when opening to connect with others as a way to move on towards acceptance. The connective characterization is therapeutically well-thought out that Julie finds comfort over inevitable interactions that her grief couldn’t hinder from, and each arc is respectfully and sensitively executed by being relatedly mindful to her ordeal, or at least thoughtfully inspired. This meditation on grief leads onto social influences that await as a way to heal by opening to others than divulging in loneliness, which Kieslowski capped so well at the end, backed up by his collaborative score composer Zbigniew Preisner’s seamless adjacence. The first chapter in Kieslowski’s remarkable trilogy “Three Colours: Blue” is well done in expressing the aligning themes so impeccably in contexts and resonant, solidifying a decent first impression for what to expect across its interconnected successors. The singularly colorful palette usage provides a memorable haze over vague recollection due to the disengaging pacing with not enough qualifying substances to consider its patience. Though from the looks of it, there’s promising complexities that await in the remainder of the trilogy with moderate anticipation as worthwhile absorbent. Its subject matter may be a topical attraction with reflective tendency, but the acclaimed recognition for these films is treatable expressive cinematic art form for cinephiles in checking these out for themselves, which they essentially should.
