Trailer

Why watch this film?

'Trois couleurs: Rouge' is a film by one of the most important filmmakers from Poland and with one of the most iconic works of independent cinema, Krzysztof Kieślowski left his mark on the seventh art. And one of the most daring and recognized projects of the director was with the trilogy of colors - formed by the films 'The Freedom is Blue', 'The Equality is White' and 'The Fraternity is Red'. In the case of this last movie, from 1994, we know two absolutely captivating characters. One of them is a woman (Irène Jacob) who runs over a dog and, desperate, goes after the owner. That's where the story of a retired judge who lives spying on the telephone conversations of his neighbors comes in. From there, Kieślowski shows the friendship between these two figures arising, transforming and gaining strength in an absolutely strong and real scenario. It is a film about fraternal love, which puts us in the look and skin of the other. Filming.

Plot summary

Krzysztof Kieślowski closes his Three Colors trilogy in grand fashion, with an incandescent meditation on fate and chance, starring Irène Jacob as a sweet-souled yet somber runway model in Geneva whose life dramatically intersects with that of a bitter retired judge, played by Jean‑Louis Trintignant. Meanwhile, just down the street, a seemingly unrelated story of jealousy and betrayal unfolds. Red is an intimate look at forged connections and a splendid final statement from a remarkable filmmaker at the height of his powers.
