Krzysztof Kieślowski's Trois Couleurs

I recently checked out a film by Polish film director Kieślowski entitled Trois couleurs: Bleu - the first film as part of the Three Colours Trilogy (the next two are entitled Blanc and Rouge, after the colours of the French flag). He is known to make films as part of a cycle and the story of each film in this series is based on one of the three political ideals in the motto of the French Republic - liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Bleu is speaking loosely on the idea of liberty, not in a political sense, but on an individual, emotional basis. So far, it's pretty interesting - the whole idea of this trilogy brilliant. Too bad I couldn't wait to finish the whole series before I wrote this. I will have a better post when I've watched the next two... I'm having a hard time juggling this with LOST right now. I'm sure you'd understand.
