Three Colors: Red: Krzysztof Kieślowski’s superb last entry in the Colors Trilogy follows a young model who, after accidentally running over a dog, forms an unusual bond with its owner, a recluse and voyeuristic former judge. It’s a film of complex emotional beauty, deeply ingrained with humanity. The performances are delicate and touching: Irène Jacob looks stunning and performs stunningly as the melancholic, sympathetic, and somewhat lonely young woman; Jean-Louis Trintignant plays the dispirited old judge, transformed by the younger person’s presence in his life. Production designer Claude Lenoir and costume designer Corinne Jorry use red (in many hues, but generally bright) as often as they can, and cinematographer Piotr Sobociński captures it all beautifully with a camera that moves around very elegantly and enticingly. As with the whole trilogy, Red is nicely edited (by editor Jacques Witta) and very tight, with no wasted moments in its relatively short runtime. Composer Zbigniew Preisner’s musical score is subdued but very beautiful.
