Movie #150 ........................."Blue"

Movie #150 "Blue" is a terrific film about one woman's journey through grief. Juliette Binoche is a wonder to watch act -- she's that good. And right from the get-go, the film is one of those gems filmically, as well ---- it's a beautiful film that depends on all the technical elements to get the story across. She's such a quiet person who doesn't wear her thoughts or feelings on a sleeve; she's more an onion whom the audience peels one layer at a time as she and the viewer learns how to deal with all the sadness and loneliness. It was a tough movie to watch, but well worth the while. I highly recommend it.

Blue
Trois Couleurs: Bleu
(1993) R
When a young Frenchwoman (Juliette Binoche) tries to uncover her famous composer husband's secret life, her steps take her alternately closer to and further from the truth on a journey that ultimately leads to self-discovery. In this first installment of Polish cinematic genius Krzysztof Kieslowski's "three colors" trilogy, Blue stands for "liberty" (as in the French national motto) and is the first color of the red, white and blue French flag.
