Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Three Colours is perhaps one of cinema’s most unique trilogies – the films, while not sharing a specific storyline, thematically examines the French Revolutionary ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood through the colours of the country’s flag. Released as a Limited Edition set in 2023, Curzon have reissued the trilogy as a Standard Edition set for those who missed it the first time. A flawless trilogy, beautifully presented.
Synopsis
Available now in 4K Ultra HD, this crisp restoration of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s award-winning trilogy explores the French Revolutionary ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood, and their relevance to the contemporary world. It is a snapshot of European life at a time of reconstruction after the Cold War, reflected through the filmmaker’s moralist view of human nature and illuminated by each title’s palette colour.
