Movie Reviews of Blue (Three Colors Trilogy)
Movie Review: Grabbing at the start but loosing momentum as the film progresses
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this movie as my girlfriend whom I start to love so much has experienced a very similar tragedy. As we both started watching and only me knowing the plot, it was quite emotional. As the movie progressed it was hard to understand the emotions and the actual meaning of often very deep hidden messages. We found ourselves a bit bored during the 2nd half of the movie as we couln't understand the subtle signs and clues given in the movie. Athough the use of cinematographical effects/angles and sounds is no doubt excellent, I only got the full understanding of this and the plot after watching it a 2nd time with the narration voice. This made the movie much more meaningfull.
I believe the movie could have been better if not so much of the original screenplay was omited and more time was spend on dialogue of the characters, this would make the movie 2 or 2.5 hours long.
Right now, I've fully enjoyed the movie after watching the 2 seperate audio tracks and will watch a 3rd time with the original.
Still believe it was an great movie! Just doesn't get a 5 star rating cause I think sense and emotion must be captured in a single viewing for it to be an excellent movie.
Summary of Blue (Three Colors Trilogy)
Praised as one of the top films of the year by critics and audiences alike, this stylish and provocative mystery delivers captivating performances and stunning imagery! Academy Award(R)-winner Juliette Binoche (Best Supporting Actress, 1996, THE ENGLISH PATIENT, CHOCOLAT) is a young woman left devastated by the unexpected death of her husband and child. She retreats from the world around her, but is soon reluctantly drawn into an ever-widening web of lies and passion as the dark secret life of her husband begins to unravel. With each startling discovery and heart-stopping surprise, BLUE is sure to entertain you from beginning to end!The first installment of the late Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's trilogy on Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, the three colors of the French flag. Blue is the most somber of the three, a movie dominated by feelings of grief. As the film begins, a car accident claims the life of a well-known composer. His wife, played by Juliette Binoche (Oscar winner for The English Patient), does not so much put the pieces of her life back together as start an entirely new existence. She moves to Paris, where she dissolves into a wordless life virtually without other people. Kieslowski attaches an almost subconscious significance to the color blue, but primarily he focuses on Binoche's luminous face, and the way her subtle shifts in emotion flicker and disappear. The picture may be more enigmatic than the follow-ups White and Red, but Binoche's quiet, heartbreaking presence becomes spellbinding; her performance won the best actress prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1993. --Robert Horton
