Polish Film Festival – Three Colours Red

Polish Film Festival screening Kieślowski’a “Red” that closes the ” Three Colors” trilogy in grand fashion. The last feature film made by Polish film director focuses on chance, destiny, and the challenges of interpersonal communication.

As it has been written in one of the reviews: “Stunningly beautiful, powerfully scored and immaculately performed, the film is virtually flawless, and one of the very greatest cinematic achievements of the last few decades. A masterpiece”.

Red is about fraternity, which it examines by showing characters whose lives gradually become closely interconnected, with bonds forming between two characters who appear to have little in common – Irène Jacob starring as a runway model in Geneva and a retired judge, played by Jean‑Louis Trintignant. Red is an intimate look at forged connections.
