Polish Film Festival – Three Colours Blue

Three Colors: Blue is the first part of the Three Colours triptych, followed by “White” and “Red”.

Watch with us one of the most widely known Kieślowski’s films with excellent performance of Juliette Binoche, delicate cinematography by Sławomir Idziak, and the haunting music by Zbigniew Preisner.

“Blue” is the story of Julie (Juliette Binoche) who loses her husband, an acclaimed composer and her young daughter in a car accident. The movie is more than just a study of grief; it’s also a story of liberation, as the woman attempts to free herself from the past while confronting truths about the life of her late husband.
