Mesmerizing and Empty

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2019)

Three Colors Blue considers the breaking of the contract of life in a brief episode of grief. Here, that's defined as love, nonetheless demonstrated in scenes of lust (sex, strip club, affairs). Adaption is Nature's other non-negotiable point and this opportunity explored forms the basis of the adventure.
The movie delivers delights in slow imagery, either in withdrawal or immersion, pondering the in-between state the protagonist is suspended, before making her final decision, to cut from life or add herself back into it.
The music is reminiscent in parts of Mozart's Requiem whilst the choir section is authoritarian, overwrought. Though it's no hideous mess (like say that other composer centric film, Mr. Holland's Opus, a bombastic contrivance at ends), the music throughout offers nothing beyond the movie's framework, the fragments remaining frozen in arrangements, in blue.
Mesmerizing and empty.
