I know its kinda lame withs its psudo american patriotism, but red was definatley the best from a artistic perspective, white had the best story, and blue was kind of lame.

reply

Mmmh .... where exactly did you see "pseudo american patriotism" in Red? I seem to have a temporary loss of memory .... :-)

Bluewas actually quite good

he meant that his order of preference was red white and blue

I've not yet seen Red, will do v. soon, but of the two I've seen I'd say that Blue was far superior to White. Blue was so intricate and original and truly reflected Kieswlowski's unique style of film-making, scenes such as the eye-reflection, the sugar-cube and the initial crash stand out. White felt rather more lacklustre, and although it contained a very interesting story, I felt the execution was much less decisive than it was with Blue.

I would agree that blue was more visually interesting than white, but the genius of white's plot and characters surpasses anything from the first film. Add in the fact that visually, Red absolutely surpasses both and I have to say that I prefer white to blue, and Red gets a slight edge over the other two.

reply

White has more of a plot and more characters, but Blue beats it for atmosphere and originality. It depends on what you prefer in films.

(Seeing Red soon....)

reply

I never cease to be amazed by other people's taste!

The contributors to this debate are obviously all intelligent, sensitive people, yet I find it astonishing that anyone could consider White to be in any way superior to either Blue or Red!

Both Blue and Red continue to haunt my imagination in the weeks since I have seen them.

White struggled to even hold my attention as I watched it - I found it shallow and dull.

So my vote goes to Blue.
Closely followed by Red.
With White a non-starter.

reply

My favorite is the whole trilogy. There's a true balance when watching the entirety.

White is probably liked the least because it is... a comedy of sorts and thus was not photographed in an atmospherical way. I don't think it would have made sense too. I think it's quite brilliant to make White an anti-comedy since the film represents equality and that's often a joke.

reply

I thought it was generally agreed that Red is "Kieslowski's Masterpiece", and Blue is a much better film than White. I have had them on DVD for ages, I've probably seen Red 10 times, Blue 3 or 4 times and White once.

There's so much more in Blue than in the other two

Juliette Binoche's performance just tops everyone else in the trilogy.
Irene Jacob's performance is good also, although I'm not that much into the story.

I enjoyed all three of them though.

White was the worst. very confused on many parts!! blue was very good, sexy and dramatic, and binoche gave a great performance. but Red is definitely the best of them all...

reply

Blue was better then white

Agree they are even in as much as they are better than most films but;

Bleu - 10
Rouge - 9
Blanc - 7-8

Blue was far and away the most aesthetically pleasing, both visually and audially and I related most strongly to Juliette Binoche's character, I think it was probably her best performance.

Red was a fascinating story but I didn't warm to the characters so much, and it didn't fit the colour red as well as blue fitted Bleu. It should have had more anger or passion and intensity.

White had the wrong sort of humour for me, though it grew on me a lot as it went on, the ending was great. It started as a 7 for me, went down to 6 then worked through 7 and 8 and finished on at least 9! I wanted it to be lighter and brighter, with the dark humour just for contrast and emphasis.

Great trilogy, he manages a strongly moody, emotional film, a strongly intellectual, thought provoking film and a strongly offbeat, irritating and amusing film!

^ this!

.. White [still haven't decided, not very high, though]

"Strange. It seems like a character mutation".

reply

1) White
2) Red
3) Blue

Although, I've only seen each once. Unfortunately, I happened to see Red first... so the ending didn't make sense.

I'll try to watch them again in the near future, maybe I'll change my order.
