Polish master Krzysztof Kieslowski started his dazzling trilogy with this drama. A tragic accident that kills her husband and daughter liberates a woman who sets out to shut herself from the world with unexpected consequences. Kieslowski and his co-writer Krzysztof Piesiewicz based their trilogy on the meaning of the French flag but interpret it in their own way which makes for powerful and unforgettable cinema. In this first film they take on the color blue which represents liberty but instead of a political interpretation they opt for an utterly personal one. Juliette Binoche delivered another outstanding performance as the woman shattered by loss who has to find a way to live again. Besides the brilliant writing and directing, the film features a glorious cinematography by Slawomir Idziak and haunting score by Zbigniew Preisner. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
