The first in Krzysztof Kieslowski's Colors Trilogy, "Blue" will frustrate those in search of action or a brisk plot, as well as those who wish to become intimently attached to the characters. But the patient and reflective will be greatly rewarded by the films poetic images.
The entire film is lite in blue tones,scored with classical music and dialogue is sparse.The best way to approach it is a painterly appreciation for moments where a sugar cube is slowly saturated with coffee, or of a hand being dragged along a stone wall.
Juliet Binoche deservedly won the Venice Film Festival award for her understated performance.
Recommended for the patient and cerebral.
