Blue explores liberty from fascinating viewpoints. The story of Julie's frustrated quest for freedom (and its resolution) is quite moving and thought-provoking. Kieslowski's artistry is clearly advanced since Decalogue, with a far more painterly, impressionistic touch. His use of music, and of course color, is extraordinary.

Technically magnificent, with a fantastic soundtrack, nice impressionistic visuals, and a great performance from Binoche. But to be honest it felt kind of forced and never really resonated with me on a personal level, hence it's my least favorite of the trilogy (which is to say it's only great, not totally amazing).

Visually and musically stunning. Kieslowsky treats it as a slow, but relentless psychological thriller of sorts - Binoche acting like someone trying desperately to keep a lid on an overboiling pot without showing it for so much of the film.

Kieslowski truly is a great artist. Creating scenes with great emotional tension by using deceptively simple imagery. Everything adds up in perfect harmony: the music, the characters, the symbolism,... The slow pacing is reminiscent of a smart card player. Bluffing, fooling around, holding back. But the last scene shows the true Kieslowski: an artist at the top of his craft, showing us the inner workings of mankind and society.

Great art finds beautifully simple meaning in the swirling chaos of existence, and through Julie's journey of grief I see a plethora of such meanings. For a while she tries to remain a single aspect of an orchestra, denying the vibrancy of life to walk a fine line of indifference, but as she discovers through love, the lives of others, and the final composition of her late husband, life has value through harmony. Living ain't just a single tone; it's the greatest fucking symphony ever written.

A truly magnificent film. Kieslowski documents the descent into and reawakening from grief with emotional and psychological complexity. The outstanding moments are too many to list: the intuitive blending of music and image, the way music and light continually break into Julie's world, the refusal to delve into cheap sentiment or overplay key moments, the little girls jumping into the pool, and that beautifully poetic final sequence, played to the choral performance of 1 Corinthians 13. Wow.

Julie, in her grief, confuses liberty with the severing of connections and attempt to live without emotions. She may want to be through with the past, but the past ain’t through with her, and only by allowing yourself to feel and leaning on those around you can you heal and move forward. Otherwise, it’s just stasis. (Fourth time watching, and in my fourth format - DVD, Blu-Ray, 35mm, and 4K UHD)

Da ba dee, da ba die. I find Blue the weakest of the three, carried mostly by Binoche. There's a pretty funny boom mic whoopsie near the end. Maybe I should look up what the French flag colors actually represe-"The three colours are occasionally taken to represent three elements of the revolutionary motto, liberté (blue), égalité (white), fraternité (red); this symbolism was referenced in Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, for example." Wikipedia knows just what my clueless ass needs

Kieslowski's films are deeply religious, but his religion is simply a fascination with everyday human existence and faith in how we remain inextricably linked to one another in the most mysterious ways. Try as she might to shut herself off from the world, life keeps dragging Julie back into the orbit of the people in her life, some of whom she'd rather have nothing to do with, but all of whom she can't avoid, or avoid feeling for. Muted yet beautiful.

Technically well made, but ultimately superficial tripe pretending to be an examination of grief. The biggest offender is the ending, which features the words "Love is patient, love is kind..." and frames them as if they were the very key to our human condition. I burst out laughing at that moment -- surely not the intended reaction. The cinematography also left me cold; as in Kieslowski's similarly daft (but very pretty) "Double Vie", the visual symbolism was far too on-the-nose for my liking.

An imaginative and original movie, laced with visual and aural treats. Kieslowski's clever use of lighting, filters and camera angles makes for some truly remarkable cinematography and the score is hauntingly beautiful, marrying with the emotion on screen. Binoche's performance has the perfect amount of intensity and vulnerability to get her character just right.

A study of how sorrow and trauma can turn itself, no matter how limited, into selfless love. Splendid imagery and sound, the various colour combinations creating a world that oscillates between varying degrees of melancholia, often rather surrealist at times. Punctuated by smart utilization of the soundtrack, and a fantastic performance by Binoche who wears the suffering across the her face, 'Blue' is a beautiful achievement that washes over the viewer.

It takes a director of Kieslowski's skill and Juliette Binoche's best efforts to turn the stiff and uneventful story that takes place in "Bleu" into a fascinating and haunting art picture. The film is full of gorgeous images and wonderful music while the direction and cinematography are flawless. The final montage is so stunningly beautiful that it obtains a rare poignancy. Too bad that the story is stale and inflexible and it leads nowhere. The style and atmosphere however, make it worth it.

Blue is a magnificent piece of film, mainly because of Kieslowski's beautiful camerawork and imagery, and the fantastic performance by Juliette Binoche. Blue is a depressing film that never really slows down. It has excellent pacing, and there never is a scene that wasn't necessary. Great use of music, and the intertwining feelings that follow her are displayed so naturally. The depth of Binoche's character is one of the best I have seen.

Binoche is stunning throughout, her grief and disconnection captured beautifully, a mesmerising performance. Sadly, all the other characters feel hollow and vacant in contrast, especially the boring Olivier. The music, frustratingly, rarely moved me, often jolting me out of the story rather than deeper in. Still, Binoche performance and Kieslowski visual touches combine so beautifully my attention was fixed, the colours haunting and beautiful rather than gimmicky as I feared.

Liberté has its colloquial ideal, but to the point it means isolation, this film, at least, knows it loses a part of its humanity. Both Binoche and Kieslowski command every frame - from pool water masquerading as tears, to shots bled completely of the blue tint, leaving only a hellish, scorched hue - it’s a miracle of an experience. Rarely do films illustrate musical art in the way this does. When the grief is all-encompassing, the very film itself goes dark.

The sort of arthouse film that's less about what it says, and more about how it says it, and in this case it's a moodily beautiful multi-sensory tone poem about the (sometimes perverse) beauty of grief and mourning. Obviously rich in symbolism and subtext, and Binoche's performance is one for the ages. Any thematic connection to the French Revolution is tenuous at best.

TC: Blue is a gorgeous, meditative experience. It speaks through dynamic visual swells that wash over both the characters and the audience. Binoche's enigmatic performance deserves to be the cornerstone of restrained, minimalist acting. Still, I found the supporting cast to be very weak and the plot did not progress gracefully.

It amazes me that some people have described Blue as subtle. It's about as subtle as a sledgehammer. The symbolic properties of color and the significance of an incomplete musical composition inspired by the dream of a unified Europe are so on the nose that it verges on parody. It's a testament to Kieslowski and Binoche's combined talent that it narrowly misses. Binoche is luminous as a grief stricken woman, and K.K's creates a sensual mood that evokes the character's isolation and trauma.

Interesting exploration of "liberty" through various feminine identities. The main character is free because she has lost her family and so she is not a wife or a mother anymore. Images of women in varied roles are contrasted, including the mistress who is an expectant mother, the senile old mother who thinks her daughter is her sister, and a sexually promiscuous strip-dancer whose father is in the audience - reminding us that all women are daughters.

The first masterpiece of three masterpieces in the Three Colors trilogy by Kieslowski. Blue takes on the challenge of liberty and liberation, a French Revolutionary ideal. But not just about being free, Blue asks what must be sacrificed and is it even possible to be completely liberated from all that we know or, for that matter, worth it being free? Blue shows just exactly what the right director with the right script with the right actors can achieve.

The specter of mortality is drawn over the entire film, enhanced by the sense of all the ways in which life itself drifts away from us. Binoche is moving and insightful in her role, all the more impressive given that the character's primary mode is one of self-imposed isolation, giving Binoche little to play off of except the sense of her own tragic history. Kieslowski is a sensual visual artist, continually coming up with boldly unorthodox ways to frame his shots and wash the screen with color.

"The Double Life of Veronique" was reason enough for me to delve into Kieslowski's masterful oeuvre even further. The use of color is strikingly bewitching and Binoche carries the film with ease and humbleness. The music is extraordinary, not since Kubrick have I had the chance to see a director marry visuals and music so marvelously, the latter encompassing a vast array of emotional qualities. Highly recommended !!!

Great performance of Juliette Binoche in this quality film. The cinematography is awesome with great use of color, detail and movement, sometimes interestingly abstract. The music also plays very well along with the story. I'm still pondering what Kieslowski wanted to tell me in this movie, but either way it was a great watch. I'm curious about the other two movies from the series now.

There's a great deal of blue light, a "blue room," a blue glass mobile, a blue swimming pool, a blue sucker, and a blue-out transitional device. The widow, in addition to seeing all this blue, periodically hears amplified bursts of her husband's music. Kieslowski, who elicits from Binoche the same camera-conscious emoting he got from Irene Jacob in _The Double Life of Veronique_, adds all manner of visual frippery and froufrou.

Wonderful music from Zbigniew Preisner. Blue shows up a bunch of times as symbolism (screens tinted blue, blue objects, etc). Also has great cinematography, that really showcases the symbolism. Loaded heavily with subtle metaphors for liberty and other things. Acting was great. Some adult material. Can be a little depressing however it is also uplifting in the way that music mends her. A careful meditation on art, such as music. Great pacing as well, every scene is loaded with reason/purpose.

What a start into the trilogy! Blue seems appropriate for the start. Binoche's performance is so natural it's a joy to watch. The picture manifests itself through her experience and phases that follow it. This was very interesting, to see if you feel anything? To let everything go? It was indeed very interesting to watch these themes being explored. Extremely visual film and a technical masterpiece. Beauty of film craft.

There are revelations in the film that a vastly inferior film would use to show that her old life was just a lie. This film seems to use them to suggest that her idealized version of her old life was more complicated than she's admitting, and she doesn't need to let that vision prevent her from finding a new life that is connected to the past.

Top badass moment? A mouse murderer fails to become the nihilistic, people hater she wants to be. This movie is certainly depressing, although I also felt a bit ripped off by it too. I could totally relate to how she was reacting to the loss of her husband and daughter, but somehow I just wasn’t emotionally devastated by it. Ideally, I'd have been searching under the kitchen sink for weed killer after watching it, not making myself a cup of tea. 1 cat, no chainsaws or decapitations.

There's a lot of symbolism here, but I just didn't enjoy the movie. It's a philosophical take on depression and sadness, and shutting people out of one's life -- and slowly learning how to bring them back in. While Binoche was magnificent, the others were a little wooden. Of course, as an artistic film, the mood set by the predominant blue color and the incredible close-up shots are impressive, but I didn't find the music to quite hit that high standard.

A genuine appeal at dealing with grief and seeking liberation. Binoche is precise with the tendencies of a null, blank persona that comes after tragedy. There are several scenes that empathize with Julia trying to reject everything around her, as she tries move on. Kieslowski portrays the difficulty of complete solitude as the human nature feeds off hope, desire and faith in order to continue on. Visual and sound composition are both extremely powerful.

I walked out of this flick loving it and not knowing exactly why. It evokes a range of emotions throughout.

Seems like a movie I should like more than I did. It's shot and acted quite well and has that depressing tone I generally love. The script hindered it from clicking with me though. A few parts felt contrived and the lead characters detachment makes every other secondary character a complete bore. I wouldn't recommend people against it but it wasn't completely for me.

Very interesting movie. The swimming pool scenes were my favorite aspect of this entire movie. The last 30 minutes or so were touching. Beautiful photography.

Excellent use of music and (unsurprisingly) color here. Binoche also gives a really wonderfully layered performance.

It wasn't boring, but still I'm pretty sure I'm not going to remember anything about this film in quite a short time.

A sad and devastating film which reconciles traumatic grief with newfound perspective. Its essential simplicity is shaded with detailed audiovisual texture, a remarkable lead performance, and profound feeling.

Liberté, egalité et fraternité: the colors of the French flag. they are the strings upon which these stories compose themselves. here a woman, in pursuit of freedom, seeks to overcome loss, to excise her guilt. the love with her friends husband confirms her, allowing her to fall into a new world.

One moment, Julie (Juliette Binoche) had everything; the next, her husband and daughter have been killed in a car accident and her own face is a patchwork of lacerations. The physical recovery proves less difficult than the emotional one, and Julie ends up selling her house, burning her late composer-husband's compositions, putting her mother in a home, and running off to live in relative anonymity, with "no memories, no love, no children."

Much like the reoccurring symbol of water in this film, Bleu's fulcrum seems to be the ebb and flow that comes with grief. Julie's presence is a constant in the film, but her reactions to her past are constantly in flux and are illusory. As much as she tries to shift her life away from her tragedy, she can't escape herself. The film flawlessly marries symbolism and gorgeous filming with an astounding script and performance from Binoche. I could go on, but this film's genius is self-evident.

A great film, but it does get a little tiring to watch someone drown in self-pity for 90 minutes.

Lovely looking, seemingly an allegory of post-maastricht anxiety; [qnhtugre-pbybavrf, jbexvat tvey-arj qrcraqnagf/crre pbhagevrf, uhfonaq/zvfgerff-punatr bs fbirervtagl/WUN, zvpr-gur zheqrebhf gerngzrag bs vzzvtenagf ol rh fgngrf, zbgure-gur 'raq' bs 'qnejvavna' be 'terng zna' uvfgbel naq WO nf senapr urefrys, obhapvat-onpx jvgu ure havdhr gnyragf...] That that was all going through my head shows it didn't really work as a drama for me. No economics though, perhaps that's to come...
