Three Colors: Blue is the first part of trilogy and its theme of liberty is manifested in famous composer Julie’s attempt to start life anew free of personal commitments, belongings, grief and love. Three Colours: White has been written around the destructive dynamics of a relationship based upon great inequality. Three Colours: Red, which is about the fascinating relationship between a fashion model and a retired judge, is not only the last part of the trilogy but also the final movie by filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski.
