Liberté
Julie has gone through a terrible tragedy – the death
of her husband and daughter in an automobile accident. At first, she tries to
kill herself, but unable to swallow the lethal dose of drugs. After being
released from hospital, she decides to sell the family mansion and to move to
Paris. Once in a capital, Julie tries to cut all connections to the past.
«Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité» is the national motto of
the French Republic. The national flag symbolizes the words: Blue for Liberté; White for Égalité; Red for Fraternité. Of
course, these words have a political meaning. Krzysztof Kieślowski has made a
film about personal liberty.
Julie tries to reach the personal liberty by the means
of cutting all ties with the society. This path is wrong, because «Ghosts of
the past» would still haunt you. The right way of reaching personal liberty is
to «look into the eyes» of your past and pass it over and through you.
The acting of Juliette Binoche could be described in
one word – natural. The Actress has naturally portrayed the introverted Julie,
who is coping with a terrible tragedy. Binoche gives to Julie some traits of an
ordinary woman, which makes her look even more natural.
Trois couleurs: Bleu is a visually stunning and sad
film, which, nevertheless, gives us some hope. The film is recommended to all
cinema-lovers, it will not disappoint you.
8/10
