Abstract

The first film in the Krzysztof Kieślowski trilogy dedicated to colors and to the ideals of the French Revolution, Trois couleurs: Bleu is a central issue the discussion about freedom: it is possible to achieve it in all its fullness? Or: can we live without maintaining links? Julie, the central character, assumes anonymity amid the parisian crowd after a tragic accident that killed her husband and daughter, away from everyone and everything in an attempt to get rid of the past and forget the tragedy. "I do not want goods, gifts, friends, love and relationships. These are all traps" she says. The analysis of the work is based on the relationship memory and forgetting that proposes Kieślowski from a complex interplay between sound and image, where the elements-memory construct polyphonically the untimely time-space displacement and the silent drama experienced by the character of Juliette Binoche.
