A quarter century on from Krzysztof Kieślowski’s post-Cold War arthouse landmark, how has time distilled the insights of Three Colours Blue, White and Red? Read Leigh Singer ’s introduction here:

Krzysztof Kieślowski was one of the great geniuses of modern times because he is one of the very few artists in human history who successfully expressed an unusually advanced philosophical idea through a work of fiction. Most films - even most great films - are very much within the protagonist-with-a-tragic-flaw storytelling framework and send us the message that (x) trait results in our downfall, something that countless artworks of the past have already done. But Kieślowski was a paradigm-shifter. He successfully argued, even through a fictional narrative, that chance plays a profound role in human life, and this message is an intellectual step beyond the old, tired tragic-flaw message. Of course, it’s not true that an artwork having the traditional framework is a bad artwork because of this. But anyone who is able to _simultaneously_ be a brilliant artist and an intellectual innovator, in the same work, is a genius of a very high order. That is a greater accomplishment.

I think the small connections between the films make this trilogy not just good, but epic

Great work, Leigh Singer. I'll be using this with my Y11 class tomorrow as part of a teaser lesson for IB Film :-) One point I would add is that the contribution of Zbigniew Preisner cannot be understated, either in the trilogy or Kieślowski's work as a whole.

A clever title and an insightful review from Leigh Singer, this short film reminds us of how Kieślowski's inspirational films transcend the mundane. Thank you very much to all involved.

Today mr. Kieslowski would have turned 80. He left us too soon.

RED is a Great film... I caught on pretty quick, I thought Michel was Augustine the controlling boyfriend stalking Valentine... Augustine was the man calling the blonde woman (his girlfriend) on the phone all along.. and caught her cheating one night; and she shouted Augs name.... Hence why him and Kern are parallel & confusing in a way! Also I noticed Valentine and Augustine never really interacted or knew one another but were also neighbors 'An were at the very same locations throughout the film unaware of each other's presence Until Tragedy or Fate; the 'storm' finally brings Valentine and Augustine closer with an accident they'll both share together for the rest of their lives meaning Augustine is the man she wakes up by in Kerns dream Happy 20-25 years later but still in love with each other I suppose. Kern kept it a secret tho Imo I believe that your soulmate is very close by without you being unaware everywhere you go repeating the very same moves you make. Like a game of chess, time & patience and the place you meet by tragedy or fate... I think

This trilogy and director seems wonderful . But it's stupidity , you have to look into the background of people before welcoming them in your home . Bharat (india) has faced beutal barbaric islamic invasions invaders but BHARATiya Sanatan Vedic Hindus Dharm resistance saved this our nation country so far . But look what is happening in Europe from last so many years , it's burning .
