TROIS COULEURS: ROUGE ( Krzysztof Kieślowski)

A wondeful farewell film for the trilogy made by Krzysztof Kieślowski. Trois couleurs: Rouge is the last film made by Krzysztof Kieślowski after he announced his retirement. I've watched this movie in our film aesthetics class though its bad that i haven't watched the whole trilogy.

the story is about coincidents and how a platonic friendship bloomed between a ramp model Valentine Dussaut (Irene Jacob) and a retired judge, Joseph Kern (Jean-Louis Trintignant) after Valentine bumped Joseph's dog rita. Their relationship became stronger when Valentine caught Joseph listening to his neighbors' phone calls and the later sharing of personal experiences. But a parallel story follows Valentine's neighbor, Auguste, a law student, having some coincidental same story with Joseph.

I really love the natural acting of Irene. but i really love how Krzysztof Kieślowski cast them, like the role of the judge, he made a perfect choice by choosing Jean-Louis Trintignant to play the role.

Its really amazing when the "magic" of the movie was revealed. the shots were carefully shooted, the placement of things are perfectly placed, a perfect example of "Mise en scène". This movie is a perfect example in how to determine a great director.

Over-all, the movie is great, how i wish to watch the full trilogy.
