Blue

The French/Polish Blue was directed by the late Polish filmmaker Krzystof Kieslowski. Juliette Binoche delivers an award-winning performance as a devastated French woman who has lost her husband and child in an auto accident. The grieving Binoche busies herself by building a whole new life. In so doing, she tries to purge herself of all memories of her late husband, a famous composer. Kieslowski followed Blue with White and Red, each film exploring a different aspect of contemporary European life. ("Blue" is the traditional French color of liberty.), After the death of her husband, a renowned composer, Julie tries to keep herself together. She considers suicide before trying to build a new life in Paris. But she struggles to get away from the sounds of his music in her head. Thoughtful drama about freedom and escape.
