Three Colors: Red

Director: Krzysztof Kieślowski

1994 / 99min / DCP

The final installment in Kieślowki’s trilogy and indeed his final feature, a magisterial exploration of the operations of chance and fate that earned Kieślowski an Academy Award nomination for Best Director, stars the luminous Irène Jacob as a University of Geneva student and sometimes runway model whose chance encounter with a misanthropic retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant), now devoting his idle hours to eavesdropping on his neighbors, is the first of a series of unexpected encounters and connections that brings the triptych full circle. “Somehow both playful and laden with gnomic seriousness… A highly wrought, intensely controlled, and self-aware creation… Utterly distinctive and absorbing.” —The Guardian
