Three Colours: Red
Three Colours: Red (French: Trois couleurs: Rouge, Polish: Trzy kolory: Czerwony) is a 1994 romantic psychological drama mystery art film co-written, produced and directed by Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski. It is the final installment of the Three Colours trilogy, which examines the French Revolutionary ideals; it is preceded by Blue and then by White.
Kieślowski had announced that this would be his final film, planning to retire claiming to be through with filmmaking; he would die suddenly less than two years later. Red is about fraternity, which it examines by showing characters whose lives gradually become closely interconnected, with bonds forming between two characters who appear to have little in common.
Red was released to universal critical acclaim and was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Director for Kieślowski. It was also selected as the Swiss entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 67th Academy Awards, but was disqualified for not being a majority-Swiss production; its precedent however, submitted by Poland, was accepted although it did not secure a nomination. Since then it has been widely regarded as one of the best films of all time, as well as one of the greatest French-language films ever made.
Valentine Dussaut is a student at the University of Geneva who works part-time as a model. She often contacts her possessive boyfriend Michel, who is currently in England. During a photo shoot for a chewing gum advertising campaign, the photographer instructs Valentine to look sad as she poses against a red background.
While walking home one night, Auguste Bruner, Valentine's neighbour and a law student, drops his textbooks, one falling open to a particular chapter of the Criminal Code. While driving home that same night, Valentine accidentally runs over Rita, a pregnant Malinois dog. She tracks down the dog's owner, a reclusive retired judge named Joseph Kern. When he shows no concern, Valentine takes Rita to a veterinarian and decides to keep her. She selects her favourite photo at the studio, rebuffing the photographer's sexual advances. Valentine later receives a sum of money from an anonymous sender at her apartment.
The next day, Valentine takes Rita for a walk, and the dog leads her back to Joseph's house. Joseph confirms that he sent the money for the veterinary expenses and tells Valentine to keep the dog. Inside his house, she catches him eavesdropping on a male neighbour's phone conversation with his male lover. She urges Joseph to respect his neighbour's privacy; he challenges her to reveal the eavesdropping to the neighbour. Valentine goes next door to do so, but leaves without denouncing Joseph after discovering the neighbor leads a straight life with a wife and seeing that the neighbour's daughter is listening on the phone extension.
Joseph tells Valentine that their actions will not affect the outcome of these people's lives. This reminds Valentine of her teenage brother, who discovered that he is not his father's biological son. Joseph plays Valentine a phone conversation between Auguste and his girlfriend Karin. From his window, Joseph and Valentine observe another male neighbour, whom Joseph suspects is a heroin dealer, which upsets Valentine. When Joseph correctly deduces that Valentine's brother is a heroin addict, she declares that she pities Joseph and leaves.
That night, Joseph writes letters to his neighbours and the police confessing his spying activities, resulting in a class-action lawsuit. Meanwhile, Auguste passes his exam to become a judge, crediting his success to the dropped textbook. Auguste's first case as a judge is Joseph's trial. At court, Joseph sees Karin meeting another man. Joseph later reveals to Valentine that he turned himself in to see if she would come back. Valentine discusses her upcoming trip to England to visit Michel; Joseph suggests that she take the ferry. Joseph recounts a case where he wrongly acquitted a sailor. When Valentine asks about Joseph's love life, he evades the question and discusses a recent dream in which Valentine was happy.
