After watching the trilogy, I'm left with just one question: Why doesn't Europe just make their recycling bins shorter?!?

This one is the best of the trilogy, in my opinion. It was the best for me.

Kieslowsky exerts magical command of visual dynamics, texture, mise-en-scene, camerawork and insinuation. The soundtrack plumbs rich, cavernous depths of tone, collapsing the pace into moments of crystalline antiquity, and the character dynamics feel suitably oblique and murky, leaving archetypal hints to the cyclical nature of human nature, self exploration, and surrender to nature's power. Make no mistake, this is arty arthouse at its' finest, plumbing dimensions few films follow, and though some might find the lack of distinct narrative maddening, there are moments here that are quite breathtaking. A work that adults may find satisfying on all levels.

Fantastic end of the trilogy! When the main characters in blue and white was quite self-occupied with their search for freedom, justice and everything else immature... This movie really touched me with so much more depth and spirit. Brilliant!

Beautifully shot film, and an interesting conclusion to the trilogy. This film didn't connect to me emotionally as much as Blue, but nonetheless had me spellbound.

R [Seeing red?] ouge reunites Kieślowski with Irène Jacob, with whom he worked with on The Double Life of Veronique (the film that made her a star), and takes place in her native Geneva. She plays a storm-tossed, kind-hearted model who, through chance (and chance is a huge theme in Red), meets a bitter retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who spies on his neighbors and has a strange prescience. Through their stories we discover a thick web of coincidence and mirror images that makes this last part of the trilogy the most mysterious and intriguing. If Blue was a subverted tragedy, and White a dark, dry comedy, Red is less easy to classify. To me, it is a fable, one of pure movie making, that uses images in a way that would, to most readers of this blog, be reminiscent of the way Moore and Gibbon do in Watchmen. The ironic intricacies of the film make it my favorite of the three. Irène Jacob simply breaks my heart in every frame.

Why aren't the Three Color films on the Best Of Rotten Tomatoes list? They have two 100%s and a 90%...

Rouge is undoubtedly the best of the three. Well-deserved film that should be much higher in the Top 250.

A stunning film. Kieslowski now ranks right up there in my list of best directors. I've been meaning to see The Double Life of Veronique... I must get around to it.
