The first in the Three Colors
Trilogy (followed by White
and Red), Blue focuses on
the wife of a great contemporary composer who has died along with her child and
how she deals with her grief and emptiness.
Polish auteur Krzysztof Kieslowski writes and directs the film (which is probably his best, well this
or Red). Composer Zbigniew
Preisner scores the entire Trilogy, but his music for Blue is especially magnificent
and plays a major role in the film (here is a sample). Cinematographer
Slawomir Idziak shoots the
film with a wonderful use of color (or lack of color when needed). He is among
my favorite working D.P.s (his work on Black Hawk Down is phenomenal).
Production designer Claude Lenoir
designed all three films and his work throughout the Trilogy is top notch.
The film stars Juliette Binoche giving maybe
the best performance of her career. It is heartbreaking. The supporting cast
features Benoit Regent, Emmanuelle Riva (who recently
got some due acclaim for her work in Amour), and Julie Delpy (who stars in
White).
Blue is a viscerally intense experience.
It is a masterwork of emotional resonance, utilizing cinema’s visual medium to
its full potential. For fans of art films and emotionally enveloping dramas,
this is a must-see.
There is definately a great deal to know about this subject. I like all of the points you've made. หนังใหม่netflix
