Red (Three Colors Trilogy) Reviews
No bad notes . . .
Red
Kieslowski wrote that Red's theme concerns conditional mood . . . how a person might be born at the wrong time(The Judge), and how he is perfectly suited for Valentin. Red explores youth and the aged, what makes us atomized and what unites us, and, finally, free choice and destiny. Kieslowski's last work is his most complex. What we see as chance or choice is something quite different in retrospect; not exactly predestination but a weaving of choice and fate(echoed in the Bolera heard throughout the film). Mystery envelops the film . . . why did the Judge want to see her ticket? How does his dream of Valentin predict her future? Is he some sort of fortune teller(or can he effect destiny?). The color red frames the films. The beautiful symbolic subplot of an aged woman, trying to place a bottle in the trash is found in each of the works in the trilogy. But only in Red does the heroine Valentin help the infirmed woman. She sees the world in a sympathetic light and her character transforms the elderly judge, waking up to his true nature. The beautiful symbolism in this film is also exemplified by the mural of Valentin which is put up, displayed, and then, in a howling storm, removed(just as Valentin faces her own life-and-death crisis on the ferry). I believe he never did another movie because he felt he couldn't top this. The film's editor tells how Kieslowski was so moved by the film that he cried during the editing. Kieslowski was a perfectionist. Red is his haunting masterpiece
smart and fatalistic
Enjoyed watching.. it takes you back to the days where cinema was something more than pure special effects.
