Krzysztof Kieślowski: Three Colors: Blue
@ Doc Films at the University of Chicago
1212 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Monday, January 14th, from 7PM - 8:40PM
The first film of Kieślowski’s Three Colors Trilogy, Blue focuses on Julie (a stolidly agitated Juliette Binoche), a widow haunted by an accident that killed her husband and daughter, and who wanders through Paris trying to fill it with as little of herself as possible. “We love to contemplate blue… because it draws us after it,” Goethe noted, and Blue indeed draws Julie and her observers alike into the mystery of a woman who rails quietly against death’s demand that one start anew.
runtime: 100m format: 35mm
Part of our Monday series, Small Deaths: A Meditation on Grief in Cinema
