This boldly cinematic trio of stories about love and loss, from Krzysztof Kielowski, was a defining event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The films are named for the colors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French Revolutionliberty, equality, and fraternitybut that hardly begins to explain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity. Set in Paris, Warsaw, and Geneva, and ranging from tragedy to comedy,Blue, White,andRed(Kielowskis final film) examine with artistic clarity a group of ambiguously interconnected people experiencing profound personal disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring performances by Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy, Irne Jacob, and Jean-Louis Trintignant, Kielowskis Three Colors is a benchmark of contemporary cinema.
