Magic Marmalade 4th Feb 2025		Rated 9/10 Blue is the coolest colour. I've been meaning to see this trilogy for some time, and finally came across Three Colours Red last year, but got frustrated waiting for the other two to turn up, so got them from Amazoon. This one is a lot shorter than I thought it would be, at only an hour and a half, but sparse, minimal, even glacial look and feel allows the runtime to easily accommodate the slower pace without feeling rushed. This is a perfect study in grief and trauma, and the general melancholy than comes of it, as Juliette Binoche's: Julie, having lost her famous composer husband and daughter in a car crash in the opening scene, is numb, and somewhat bewildered, as she then tires to break from anything to do with her old life, but in seeking to "get lost" and hide away, discovers other things about her late husband that accord a little too well with things about her herself, in a way that may lace her melancholy and grief with guilt, and cause her to reflect and re-evaluate the whole of her life. This is pure cinematic story telling at it's best. The combination of stunning cinematography, equally stunning score, and Binoche's brilliant minimal acting (her face alone does most of the heavy lifting!) around sparse, but essential dialogue do the telling, without having to tell you explicitly what's happening - some things are just presented to you as facts, without offering exposition, other things are suggested, and all in a way that allows the viewer to perfectly understand what's going on. Meditative, delicate, sublime, melancholic, beautiful... and very, very... blue! Pure art. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
