Three Colors: Red

(TROIS COULEURS ROUGE)

FRANCE

Nominated for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay & Best Cinematography at the Academy Awards 1995.

Nominated for Best Actress (Irene Jacob), Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Film at the BAFTAs 1995.

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 dramatically intersects with that of a bitter retired judge, played by Jean‑Louis Trintignant. Meanwhile, just down the street, a seemingly unrelated story of jealousy and betrayal unfolds. Red is an intimate look at forged connections and a splendid final statement from a remarkable filmmaker at the height of his powers.

8.1/10 – IMDB

“It’s a marvellous culmination of the trilogy, which together make some of the most fascinating stories in film.”

“A beautiful film both emotionally and philosophically, not to mention aesthetically”

“The narrative seems delicate but precise, and it is difficult to say why the story and the images are so captivating, except that the film’s modulation of revelation, beauty and anticipation is exquisite.”
