THREE COLORS (1993-1994)
Criterion Collection #587
Bluray: 15 Nov 2011
List Price: $79.99
Publisher: criterion.com
Special Features:
This boldly cinematic trio of
stories about love and loss, from Krzysztof Kieślowski was a defining
event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The films are named for the
colors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French
Revolution—liberty, equality, and fraternity—but that hardly begins to
explain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity. Set in Paris, Warsaw,
and Geneva, and ranging from tragedy to comedy, Blue, White, and Red
(Kieślowski’s final film) examine with artistic clarity a group of
ambiguously interconnected people experiencing profound personal
disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring
performances by such actors as Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy, Irène
Jacob, and Jean-Louis Trintignant, Kieślowski’s Three Colors is a
benchmark of contemporary cinema.

Product DetailsThree 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 Kieślowski’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 Kieślowski closes his Three Colors trilogy in
grand fashion with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance,
starring Irène 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.
