    Editorial Reviews

    The first chapter in Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colors" trilogy, Blue stars Juliette Binoche as Julie, the lone survivor of an automobile crash that killed her husband, a famed composer, and their only child. Despondent, Julie attempts suicide, but she cannot bring herself to take her own life. Instead, she sets about starting over, purging all remnants of her former existence in an attempt to sever her ties to the past. A piece in the trio of films loosely inspired by the colors of the French flag and their corresponding symbolic qualities, the basic focus of Blue is liberty. Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

    August 26, 2006: Juliet Binoche gives a performance with depth and uncommon control, displaying her wonderful ability to express so much using so little. My issue with the film, however is two-fold: I very quickly became aware of the camera and editing techniques that the director used, which distracted from the story-telling. Whenever a director seems like he's showing how "artsy" he is or I become aware of technique rather than the story, it takes away from the presumed purpose of the film. My second issue is that the musical score which is woven throughout the story and is a central character in the film is not very good, and at the end, became annoying (particularly the way it was scored in the voice). It would have been more effective if the film composer had delivered a better score. It's a great film in terms of its devices, techniques, and Juliet's performance - otherwise it missed the mark in my opinion.

    December 15, 2002: The movie Blue has already become a classic. It is the best one from the trilogy Blue, White and Red (although Red is almost as good). Expect to be sad afterwards, but also more than satisfied with Kieslowski's artistry as he ''serves'' us the story with the lightness only few are capable of.
