The White Stuff

Blue, starring Juliette Binoche, was viewed as exquisite but cold. White, set mostly in Poland and featuring an almost-unknown Julie Delpy, was a comic trifle. Red, meanwhile, featuring two European stars?Ir?ne Jacob, who had won best actress at Cannes for Kieslowski?s The Double Life of Veronique, and the French cinema hero Jean-Louis Trintignant?was the trilogy?s, and Kieslowski?s, crowning achievement. Its obsession with themes of fate and happenstance summed up the trilogy as a whole, and its conclusion brought characters from all three films together in a satisfying final flourish. That Kieslowski had kind of, sort of announced his retirement at his Cannes press conference (?But who knows?? he added puckishly) only made the praise more valedictory. When Kieslowski died only two years later, Red?s reputation was cemented in my mind and others?: It was a masterpiece, the capstone to a monumental career.
