Seminar: Three Colors: Blue
Join Boston College professor Andréa Javel for an introduction to the first film in the trilogy, Blue, as well as an overview of the series as a whole.
This boldly cinematic trio of stories about love and loss from Krzysztof Kieślowski was a defining event of the art-house boom of the 1990s. The films are named for the colors of the French flag and stand for the tenets of the French Revolution — liberty, equality, and fraternity — but that hardly begins to explain their enigmatic beauty and rich humanity.
