Haven't had the chance yet because I have been away all weekend. I too felt a little sorry for the judge, but the idea of happenstance and coincidence and how it can effect your life is a theme that really interests me. <br /><br />@ James - It does weave in a ton of themes and ideas while remaining free of convolution. While I have never experienced anything as profound as this, I am always intrigued by why events transpire as they do. Much like Veronique, this is a theme essential to Rouge.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-39165987243116984142011-08-06T10:48:03.591+10:002011-08-06T10:48:03.591+10:00I like this one a lot, the core relationship, the ...I like this one a lot, the core relationship, the idea of happenstance/fate, the idea of loneliness, the invasion of privacy and more weave this into a complicated and compelling feature. <br /><br />I still like Three Colors: Blue more, but it's a strong film and one of Kieslowski's best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-9107524674721158562011-08-05T23:51:58.971+10:002011-08-05T23:51:58.971+10:00coincidence certainly plays a big part in the fina...coincidence certainly plays a big part in the final chapter, the way they meet, and the ending obviously.

I think my favourite might have been in Blanc, though! Yeah, truly spectacular end to his career.<br /><br />@ Nikhat - It's a breathtaking final shot isn't it? Thanks for commenting :-)<br /><br />@ Custard - Thank you very much! I know, but they are certainly well worth the time!<br /><br />@ Bonjour - Cheers! I hoped I could find the words to describe how it makes me feel. It's a profound experience thats for sure.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-31492710684950177362011-08-03T19:49:12.293+10:002011-08-03T19:49:12.293+10:00Excellent review Andy.

Yes I know you keep telling me to get it done and watch the trilogy. I will try.

Needless to say it blew my mind. I have a special affinity towards the colour red, and in usual films I love it when it pops out of nowhere...and in this, it was breath-taking. Irene Jacob was gorgeous too. It's been about 3-4 years since I've seen it, and the one thing that keeps coming back to me is the ending of this- with her against the red.Nikhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379713171889712078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-56676672231796764832011-08-03T15:03:40.690+10:002011-08-03T15:03:40.690+10:00When I first saw it, I wasn't into it as I tho...When I first saw it, I wasn't into it as I thought I would be but repeated viewings made me love the film even more. I also love Preisner's score including his "Bolero" score theme is just among one of his best. It's also a great ending and it's a shame Kieslowski died three years afterwards. At least he went out with a bang.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
