Very engaging drama

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2014)

A very engaging drama.
Three Colours: Blue is the first in director Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy. The story of a woman who suffers an immense tragedy and how she deals with it. Very real, human and relatable.
You can see how she meticulously, and sometimes even callously, discards her old life, starts again and tries to close herself off from reminders of her past. A great study in human reaction to tragedy.
Doesn't have a very satisfactory ending, however. After all the careful build-up, the ending feels rushed and too open-ended. I kept waiting for a moment of clarity that never came.
Solid performance by Juliette Binoche in the lead role.
