Bleu

“Bleu” is a French film directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski. From the moment the film began, I knew this was something different. From the famous editing in and out of the same scene to the depressingly drained color pallet of variations of blue, this film was made to leave an impression on you.

Personally the film wasn’t my favorite. The story was very drab and the way it unfolded wasn’t exciting to me. It was only 100 minutes long but due to the music and editing it felt slow and dragged on.

Although the story didn’t catch my interest, I can’t say anything bad about the acting. Juliette Binoche is very believable and sincere in her role as a widower looking for answers.

The colors (or should I say color) throughout the film were very cold, making me feel like I wasn’t wanted or that the character just wanted to be left alone, which was fine by me. With too many false endings I was waiting for this film to be over.
