Rather than dwell on what could well have been an undoubtedly continuing ascent for Kieslowski as a director, ‘Three Colours Red’ is the last of the trilogy continuing from ‘Blue’ and ‘White’ and also the last film that Poland’s greatest director made, released two years before his untimely death in 1996.
Yet, holding his work for viewing, Ventnor Library is indeed able to keep the masterpiece that is ‘Three Colours Red’ accessible.
The depth of this film is unsurpassed and holds fourth a powerful level of reasoning through coincidence, that is that it seems to exist on many levels of conscious thought and action.
As a film that seems to grow with prominence over time, the perseverance within the work itself is truly staggering and at times magnanimous in scope.
Perfect end to the trilogy
Kieslowski has managed to direct a film that does come remarkably close to attaining answers to life’s mysteries from a traditional two-story perspective.
The writing is also credited towards Krzysztof Piesiewicz for the screenplay. Yet the performances of Irene Jacob and Jean-Louis Tringtignant as the once employed Judge, who seems to be a God like entity, acquiring knowledge, transcend the boundaries of European Cinema.
‘Three Colours Red’ is a demonstration of how far inward cinema can reach when usually produced in Europe. This is a film that starts with kinder-quality imagination of immense depth and yet reasons through its repeated viewing many layers of noticeable worth. In fourteen years since its release, rarely has European Cinema ascended so perfectly.
