Kryzyztof Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy is world-renowned. Why? What makes it great?

Let's answer those questions by starting first with the first movie in the trilogy, "Blue," starring Juliette Binoche.

This video reviews and analyzes Kieslowski's "Blue." I argue that it's more a lyric than a movie, a meditation on grief and liberty, two paradoxical values that don't seem to fit together, and yet the movie shows their relationship.

The video analyzes the movie's use of several key images, including the color blue, music, bungee-jumping, and water.
