A beautiful film. As soon as it finished, I wanted to watch it again.The soundtrack is simply gorgeous. I sat there reading the credits just because I didn't want music to end.

Just finished this. The cinematography was amazing.Neville
Saw this a few months after it came out, and again a few hours ago. Astonishing what another twenty or so years of life experience can do to how you read a film - deeply moved and impressed second time around. Recall from the first viewing a puzzled question overheard as we were leaving the theatre: "Now tell me, what was all that water about?" ....arunraj
Great performance from Juliette Binoche.....Paravail
Stunning cinematography, and some of the most clever use of sound I've ever seen in a movie. Slow paced but never boring, with a relatively simple but excellently constructed plot. Binoche carries this film, and you are "on board" with her as a character right from the get go. This isn't some weird French film that only cinema snobs will appreciate. This is a well-crafted narrative of a woman's journey of identity that will resonate with anyone who ever felt like they to start all over again.-1flb2-
Excellent movie, and my favorite c o l o r.Siskoid
The Three Colors trilogy from Polish director Krzysztof Kieślowski, all made the same year (Kieślowski died of exhaustion a couple years later), each feature a different color of the French flag (as palette and theme) and a corresponding part of the French motto (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), each stars a well-known and wonderful French actress, each takes place in a different country of the recently unified Europe, and each is visually (and musically) gorgeous, elliptical, inventive and thematically intricate. In Bleu, Juliette Binoche plays the wife of a composer who loses her entire family in an accident. She cuts herself off from life, but do events conspire to bring her back into the fold? It's a subtle and intriguing performance in a film filled with silences and editorial flair. Sad but hopeful. Just wonderful.frankqb

First part of the Three Colors "trilogy".Direction, score, acting. Krzysztof Kieślowski, Zbigniew Preisner, Juliette Binoche. Kieślowski commands the story in a way that is as unique as it is demanding. The pace is slow without dragging while the plot doesn't have a clear layout, allowing the story to progress naturally and giving the main character Julie the time needed to feel both fully-fledged and real. The visual style is rich and the color blue is used predominantly to evoke Julie's emotional struggle. Preisner's music must be one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. It is crucial not only because of the role it plays in the story as Julie is the wife of a successful composer (and she might be the reason for his success), but because of its power in emphasizing Julie's inner feelings. Binoche gives an amazing performance; she's an incredibly talented actress and she always delivers great performances but here she seems at her best. She plays the recently widowed Julie, who lost her husband and 5-year-old daughter in a car accident. Binoche expresses Julie's grief effortlessly, a grief she tries to forget but finds it unbearably difficult being unable to move forward. After I watched the movie I learned that a main theme of the movie is liberty (after the French Revolutionary ideals). This is conveyed in multiple ways, like the prostitute choosing to do what she does, Julie's mother having Alzheimer, Julie's inability to let go of her past. There are some moments that I felt are a bit too much, like the mouse with the babies or things that could've been done differently, like the affair and how it ultimately affects Julie. But on a whole this movie is a work that reaches a level of profoundness in a distinct way like few others do, if any at all.

what @mdude said is a bit harsh but there's some truth to what he said about the plot and the symbolism. I'm still happy I've seen it and it gets better as it's progresses. And the music was good, imho. Looking forward to rouge and blanc.vmunda
Brilliant visuals and sublime music!Neville
Oh, and the music struck me strongly as Polish, not French nor Eurobland. Reminiscent of Goreczski, Penderecki, or further up the Baltic, Arvo Part, especially the religious motif.eoveikur
