Three Colors Trilogy DVD Review

I think Kieslowski’s “Three Colors” trilogy is an innovative masterpiece of world cinema that works both intellectually and humanistically.

Pros

Cons

Kieslowski’s “Three Colors” trilogy consists of three interconnected stories about peripherally related lives. “Blue” (1993) is set in Paris, “White” (1994) in Warsaw, and “Red” (1994) in Geneva. The three films, which are personal rather than political, are based loosely around the three colors of the French flag and their corresponding French Revolution themes of liberty, equality, and fraternity. To my way of thinking, the trilogy is a cinepoem with superb acting, evocative music, and stunning cinematography. I think Kieslowski’s “Three Colors” trilogy is an innovative masterpiece of world cinema that works both intellectually and humanistically.
