Three Colors: Blue (1993) is a psycho-thriller drama directed by Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski. After her famed composer husband and young daughter die in a car accident, Julie (Juliette Binoche) is left with his estate, name, and unfinished pieces of music. She deals with grief in a way that is unexpected by the media and those around her. Left to face her husband’s actions and the consequences of those actions, with only his friend Oliver (Benoît Régent) by her side, she struggles. Kieślowski’s use of color is within not only the titles of this trilogy of films, but the cinematography. The color blue is prominent, not necessary in a glaringly sad or depressing way, but in almost a looming and elusive way. The performances of the actors and the combination of the poetic cinematography make this film worth a watch. If that is not enough to convince you, try watching through to the ending, it is well done.

I would recommend it to anyone interested in foreign cinema, since the dialogue is in French. Overall I would rate Three Colors: Blue a 9/10.
