Bleu (Trois Couleurs Trologie) - Blue (Three Colours / Colors Trilogy) one of the Best Ever French Films: Top ten French movies from the Cinema Fançais.

Bleu (Trois Couleurs Trologie) - Blue (Three Colours / Colors Trilogy) one of the Best Ever French Films: Top ten French movies from the Cinema Fançais

Blue, white, and red are the colors of the French flag in left-to-right order, and the story of each film is loosely based on one of the three political ideals in the motto of the French Republic: liberty, equality, fraternity. As with the treatment of the Ten Commandments in The Decalogue, the illustration of these principles is often ambiguous and ironic. As Kieslowski noted in an interview with an Oxford University student newspaper, “The words [liberté, egalité, fraternité] are French because the money [to fund the films] is French. If the money had been of a different nationality we would have titled the films differently, or they might have had a different cultural connotation. How to knit close-fitting fingerless gloves.
