The first in Krzysztof Kieślowski’s acclaimed trilogy, starring Juliette Binoche as a woman grieving her husband and child.
Julie (Juliette Binoche) loses her composer husband and their child in a car crash. Devastated, she tries to make a new start, away from her country house and a would-be lover. But music still surrounds her, and she uncovers some unpleasant facts about her husband’s life. Slowly Julie learns to live again, as music and the gift of creativity prove to be a healing force.
The first in Kieślowski’s series of films based on the three ideals of the French Revolution, Three Colours: Blue was an immediate success, winning the top prizes at the 1993 Venice Film Festival and unanimous praise from critics and audiences worldwide.
This screening is held in collaboration with Leeds International Film Festival as part of their LIFF Presents strand, bringing you the best of global cinema year-round with a carefully curated program of previews, new releases, and restorations.
