When I saw Blue about 6 months ago, it went straight into my all-time top 10 films list. I then watched White, which was indeed outstandingly good, though not in the sublime class. I bought a copy of Red knowing it would be wonderful, so much so that I hardly dared to watch it - after that there would be no more...
After holding out for six months, I have finally watched Red. What can one say? Initially I thought it slightly less wonderful than Blue, which really spoke to my heart. However two days later (it is the sort of film that stays with you) I realised that Red is indeed the better film, and I have had to expand my top 10 to an all-time top 11.
It's impossible for me to do justice to such a sublime film in words. Others have done this much better, and many of the reviews on this site have been really helpful. It's the sort of film that makes you feel you grow as a human being, and I am so grateful that it was made and that I had the chance to see it (likewise Blue). You feel you just want to thank everybody involved with this transcendental film, especially Jean Louis Trintignon, Irene Jacob and most of all Kieslowski. At least I still have Veronique and the Dekalog unwatched to look forward to.
