Red was the most interesting of the Colors trilogy. Whereas I had problems with Blue and White, Red is engaging and doesn't come across as contrived as the other two. It doesn't need great music or stunning portrayals of color to support it, although both are present. The plot and sub-plot fit together beautifully. The conclusion is quite fascinating, especially for those who have seen the entire trilogy.
Not as in awe of the direction as others, I again commend the choice of actors. Irene Jacob possesses a very natural grace. She portrays her character extremely well. Directed to speak in an almost breathless tone, she doesn't miss a beat.
Only one question, although I realize that Geneva is very French: why was Red filmed there and not, for instance, in Lyon? The choice of locales still baffles me since I truly believe the trilogy would have been much more interesting had it been filmed entirely in France. Makes sense, doesn't it, since it is all a depiction of the French flag's meaning?
