the same music theme as the Blue?

I'm not sure, I have not watched Blue for a few months but when I watched No End last night I thought that the music theme of the two movies are just the same.

The two themes are not note-for-note exactly the same, but they are very close. Zbigniew Preisner, who did the music for both movies, clearly recycled the theme from No End, with minor changes, as the Van den Budenmayer funeral music in Blue.

No End is actually seen as a pre-cursor to Bleu by some critics. It deals with some of the same themes and ideas and the only slightly-changed theme may have been a way of reflecting that. Bleu seems to be No End with the politics ripped away and concentrated 100% on the womans story. Whether this is the case or not I'm sure that Zbigniew Preisner and Kieslowski realised what they were doing and so didn't quite "recycle" their earlier work. I think it was deliberate.

What TopFrog said. The music theme in "Blue" is a slight variation from the one you can hear in "No End".
