Continuing with my movie spree this weekend, watched the French trilogy - Trois Couleurs (Three Colors). All three films (Bleu, Blanc and Rouge - Blue, White and Red) are true masterpieces.
The trilogy is the work of Polish-born director Krzysztof Kieslowski (any relation with Rafael Scislowski has yet to be established!).
Bleu deals with liberty. It's a story about a famous composer who dies in a car crash but left a major musical piece commissioned by the European Council incomplete. The wife (Juliette Binoche - English Patient, Unbearable Lightness of Being) sets about completing the piece. In the course she has to deal with a discovery about her dead husband's long standing mistress and his assistant's love for her. Brilliant film. Beautiful art direction.
Blanc deals with equality. It's a dark comedy about a hairdresser (Zbigniew Zamachowski - Proof of Life) whose life falls apart when his wife (Julie Delpy - Before Sunset, Before Sunrise, An American Warewolf in Paris) leaves him. He sets about putting things back together while plotting an outrageous revenge. Super narrative and brilliant casting on this one.
Rouge is about fraternity. It's about a young woman (Irène Jacob - Incognito) who runs over a dog, returns it to it's indifferent owner (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a retired, lonely, voyeuristic judge and how their unique relationship develops.
All in all a must watch. In Singapore it's available at HMV. Otherwise you can get it from Amazon.
