The third and best feature of Krzysztof Kieslowski's highly ambitious Three Colors trilogy.
Top CriticAnother deft, deeply affecting variation on Krzysztof Kieslowski's recurring theme that people are interconnected in ways they can barely fathom.
Stunningly beautiful, powerfully scored and immaculately performed, the film is virtually flawless, and one of the very greatest cinematic achievements of the last few decades. A masterpiece.
Red succeeds so stirringly that it also bestows some much-needed magic upon its predecessors.
Undaunted by the tremendous emotional and moral valence he has by now invited us to expect, Kieslowski controls the film magnificently, putting to use the shapely formal precision he took an entire career to work out.
Visually and emotionally, this is the director's warmest film.
[Kieślowski's] microcosmic scrutiny of the world, sans judgment, suggests all things happen at once.
A superb example of French arthouse which is also very watchable.
It's a marvellous culmination of the trilogy, which together make some of the most fascinating stories in film.
Explores fraternity in large part as much through the dynamic of neighbors and community as through potential one-on-one friendships or romances. [Blu-ray]
... the most densely and deftly woven of the three films.
Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colors remains a vibrant, mesmerizing experience, presented in superb 1080p and expertly augmented with a bounteous spectrum of special features by the Criterion Collection.
a beautiful film both emotionally and philosophically, not to mention aesthetically
the narrative seems delicate but precise, and it is difficult to say why the story and the images are so captivating, except that the film’s modulation of revelation, beauty and anticipation is exquisite.
A truly remarkable film -- nothing short of a masterpiece.
The most complicated and most celebrated of the trio.
An engrossing meditation on fate, chance, and parallel lives.
The last segment of Kiewsloski's Three Color trilogy (Blue, White) is the jewel in the crown, meditative and mystical as the others yet warmer and more accessible in large part due to Jacob and Trintingnant's appealing performances.
