Description

Three Colors: Blue
In the devastating first film of the Three Colors trilogy, Juliette Binoche gives a tour de force performance as Julie, a woman reeling from the tragic deaths of her husband and young daughter.

Three Colors: White
The most playful and also the grittiest of Kieslowski’s Three Colors films follows the adventures of Karol Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a Polish immigrant living in France. White is both a dark comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe and a reverie about twisted love.

Three Colors: Red
Krzysztof Kieslowski closes his Three Colors trilogy in grand fashion with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance, starring Irčne Jacob as a sweet-souled yet somber runway model in Geneva whose life intersects with that of a bitter retired judge, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant.
