Three Colours: Blue (Trois couleurs: Bleu) (1993)

I really wanted to like this film, but I was kind of underwhelmed. It is about so much more than grief. It is about the liberty of a woman without anymore family. Juliette Binoche is absolutely stunning. It's a beautifully shot movie. The colors are striking.  I just wasn't really able to connect with the movie. It didn't move me; I think it may be another one that requires a viewer with more life experienced. Music is very important to the plot of the movie. But I don't think the music was all that good, to be honest. It didn't have the emotional heft that such a movie demanded. The Three Colours trilogy is based on the themes of the French Revolution. And this movie is appropriately uniquely French (the nonchalance of the lover and her child).
