Even though one can view each segment of Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy on its own, it seems absurd to do so; why buy the slacks instead of the entire suit? Created by Kieslowski and his writing partner Krzysztof Piesiewicz for France's bicentennial, the titles--and the themes of the films--come from the three colors of the French flag representing liberty, equality, and fraternity. Blue examines liberation through the eyes of a woman (Juliette Binoche) who loses her husband and daughter in an auto accident, and solemnly starts anew. White is an ironic comedy about a befuddled Polish husband (Zbigniew Zamachowski) who takes an odd path of revenge against his ex-wife (Julie Delpy). A Swiss model (Irène Jacob) strikes up a friendship with a retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who eavesdrops on his neighbors in Red. The trilogy is a snapshot of European life at a time of reconstruction after the Cold War, reflected through Kieslowski's moralist view of human nature and illumined by each title's palate color.
The DVD set has numerous extras spread throughout the three discs; the end result is a superior collection. Each disc has a short retrospective, culled together from new interviews with Kieslowski's crew, plus film critic Geoff Andrew, biographer Annette Insdorf (who also does the commentaries), and fellow Polish director Ageniska Holland. Producer Marin Karmitz also reminisces about the experience. There's an exceptional effort to show the magic of Kieslowski (who died two years after the trilogy) through a discussion of his various career phases, interviews with the three lead actresses, four student films, and archival materials including simple--and wonderful--glimpses of the director at work. Excellent insight is also provided by Dominique Rabourdin's filmed "cinema lessons" with Kieslowski. Without viewing any of his other films, this set illustrates the uniqueness of Kieslowski. --Doug Thomas

BLUE: Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche ("The English Patient," Best Supporting Actress, 1996) stars as a young woman left devastated by the unexpected death of her husband and child. She retreats into 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.
WHITE: Sexy Julie Delpy ("Before Sunrise") stars in a mysterious tale of a man whose life disintegrates when his beautiful wife of six months deserts him. Forced to begin anew, he rebuilds his life, only to plan a dangerous scheme of vengeance against her. Winner of the Best Director Award at the Berlin Film Festival.
RED: Irene Jacob ("The Double Life of Veronique") stars as a young model whose chance meeting with an unusual stranger leads her down a path of intrigue and secrecy. As her knowledge of the man deepens, she discovers an astonishing link between his past and her destiny.
Rating:
- Engaging, Absorbing, Mesmerizing...and often dreamlike
Blue, White, Red were named after the colors of the French flag with the movie themes of liberty, equality and fraternity. The three films are largely unconnected in their story lines but have similar construction:
* Terrific casting
* Each move has a lead or co-lead who is a beauty
* Slow moving
* Characters are deeply introspective and emotional
* Generally few words by and among the major players however facial expressions and the "unsaid" pull you along ... Read More
Rating: - 3 masterpieces for a great low price...
This is a tremendous bargain. All three of these films are terrific on their own, but they are much easier to appreciate all together. It may be worth mentioning that the stories are largely unconnected (although they do intersect at certain times). This isn't really a narrative trilogy (like Star Wars), but a thematic one. Each film is named after a color of the French flag, and is supposed to represent the same ideal (Blue=Liberty, White=Equality, Red=Fraternity). But these concepts take on slightly ... Read More
Rating: - A Great DVD Set for a great set of movies.
The Three Colors Trilogy is an amazing set of movies, especially when put together. By themselves, I only found Red (Three Colors Trilogy) to be rewarding. I felt Blue (Three Colors Trilogy) was slow moving and bordering on pretentiousness. I could understand what it was trying to say but it never really said anything. I found White (Three Colors Trilogy) to be a nice balanced film but it felt kind of like a middle part. It had a cheapened story feel.
Now, when viewing Red and linking ... Read More
Rating: - Krzysztof Kieslowski's trilogy deserves the hype!
The late Polish master of cinema passed away far too early, (as did Fassbinder). We are at least privileged, however, to be able to enjoy his brilliant trilogy of the three colors. Although they can each be viewed as an independent story, taken together they present the director's vision of women who have a tale to tell -- and then some. Don't rush these three - sip and savor them slowly and watch the brilliance of Kieslowski's mind.
Rating: - Red is the best by far
I just rewatched all three movies again and I must say that Red is by far the best film where magic happend. The other two just are not up to par with Red, but Red is an exceptional film that is so rare to find. Red was so relaxing to watch! It feels like a poem or watching a painting come to life. I believe it is about how compassion, or opening of the heart, splits all notions of time and space and exposes a different reality that is just outside the one we are living in, as in an alternate reality.
