Film: Three Colours Red

The third in a trilogy of French films by director Krzysztof Kieslowski.

Another thought provoking and poignant film, that I first saw in 2006 but definitely deserved another viewing.

The central characters are a model called Valentine and a retired judge who meet after Valentine has run over his dog. He is a cold and cynical character who is spying on his neighbours by intercepting their mobile phone conversations.

The plot is interweaved with other characters lives who the main ones do now know about. A mirror image of the judge's life is happening to a young judge Auguste.

Eventually Valentine travels to England and is caught in a ferry disaster. Only seven survivors of which she is one.

A really good film 7/10.
