Blue, White, Red: Three Colors by Krzysztof Kieslowski (Criterion Collection) on DVD

This boldly cinematic trio of stories about love and loss from Krzysztof Kieslowski (THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VIRONIQUE) was a defining event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The films were named for the colors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French Revolution-liberty, equality, and fraternity- but this hardly begins to explain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity. Set in Paris, Warsaw, and Geneva, and ranging from tragedy to comedy, BLUE, WHITE, and RED (Kieslowskis final film) examine with artistic clarity a group of ambiguously interconnected people experiencing profound personal disruptions. Marked by intoxicating cinematography and stirring performances by such actors as Juliette Binoche (SUMMER HOURS), Julie Delpy (BEFORE SUNSET), Irhne Jacob (THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VIRONIQUE), and Jean-Louis Trintignant (Z), Kieslowskis THREE COLORS is a benchmark of contemporary cinema.
