Trying to fill the Krysztof Kieslowski hole in my film knowledge. A while ago I watched The Double Life of Veronique, which was quite good, then I decided to go after the Three Colors trilogy next. Blue kind of knocked me on my ass. How do you write a little blog post about such a layered piece of art? Probably you don’t. Just know that this is a really interesting film about loss, trying to find liberty through isolation, and the different ways you can enjoy coffee. I imagine this is probably Juliette Binoche’s best performance, and she’s someone I always like. And no, I don’t just mean I like her, I mean I like-like her.
