“This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Not only for Juliette Binocheu0026#39;s excellent performance, but also for the delicate cinematography, the haunting music and the overall texture of immersion in the world of the young woman. If you are after car chases, exploding jets and gun-toting macho muscle-men, then stop reading now, this is not for you.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI enjoyed the other two films in the trilogy (u0026quot;Three colours Redu0026quot; and u0026quot;Three Colours Whiteu0026quot;), but u0026quot;…Blueu0026quot; is easily the best. Kieslowskiu0026#39;s movies are very different from the formulaic action movies that steer you firmly down a plotline, without giving the audience time to absorb any feeling. Without giving anything away, the story centres on the life of a young woman who experiences a great loss, and how everything changes, how she reacts, what happens next and much more. Music plays a central part in the plot and the scene where her finger traces the score as she shapes the symphony for Europe, is unforgettable. As you watch it you are lulled by the music yet also aware of the tension between her lover and her. Simply put, this film is subtle and moving, beautiful to watch, has a haunting musical soundtrack (I bought the CD as well, I have to say) and is never sentimental or cliched, not for a minute. There are little link scenes that join this movie with the other u0026quot;Three colours…u0026quot; movies – the storylines are separate but overlap.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you liked this, see also u0026quot;Three colours Redu0026quot; and u0026quot;The Unbearable lightness of Beingu0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s best on the big screen.”
