So of the trilogy (blue, white and red), this one was my favorite... in blue all the drama was in juliette binoche's (sp?) head and i was stretching to figure out what she was actually feeling... white just made no sense at all (how did karl go from being a pussy to a rich businessman )... but in red there is the relationship between Valentine and the retired judge which is and easier to follow... I guess I liked being able to follow two characters than solely focusing on one (like in blue).
a great finale to the Three Colors trilogy. all the subtle things Kieslowski brings together in these films is truly masterful. the most 'hopeful' of the 3 films.
For the record Red is the best of director Krzysztof Kieslowski's color trilogy. This is a stunning piece of work in every way possible including a wonderful performance by Irene Jacob. Not a movie for everyone (a.k.a idiots will hate this movie and want to watch Transformers instead.) but for anyone willing to give the little foreign film a chance this is a must see.
Kieslowski takes the concepts of fate, conscience, and brotherhood and weaves them into a unique and powerful story filled with gorgeous imagery.
The end just always makes me marvel at his genius. Too bad we don't have more from him.
Kieslowski brings his sumptuous trilogy to a close, with this mediatation of love lost and found.Essentially a film about friendships that rekindle old emotions,in Kieslowski's hands this is delicate,spiritual film making,with a hint of the supernatural to it. Jacob's mesmerising performance is all in those eyes and the way she moves,subtle and elegant,yet unsure,like a child.The visuals complement her beauty.As with the previous films,the women are defined by the colour in the film's title.Red curtains, a red sweater, the red background at a fashion shoot,Jacob's model is bathed in it. The ending is also a joy,bringing all the films together in a transcendental way,that in any other film maker's hands,would have been hokey.That this turned out to be Kieslowski's final film is almost prophetic.It is a film about looking back with regret and looking forward with hope,a fitting epitaph for the Polish equivalent of Truffaut.
