Three Colours: Red is the trilogy’s anti-romance, depicting an unconventional love story blossoming against the insurmountable obstacle of age – perhaps the most adventurous and personal of the trilogy,
By Patrick Gamble FULL REVIEW
100
Red, the beautifully spun and splendidly acted tale of a young model’s decisive encounter with a retired judge, is another deft, deeply affecting variation on Krzysztof Kieslowski’s recurring theme that people are interconnected in ways they can barely fathom. If it’s true — as the helmer has announced — that this opus will be his last foray into film directing, Kieslowski retires at a formal and philosophical peak.

Krzysztof Kieślowski's very last film is nothing less than a true masterpiece. The last film of the three colors trilogy is one of the best pictures of 1994. It's the kind of film that reminds me why I love cinema. Red tells about fraternity, love. Red tells the story of Valentine, a model who accidentally ran over a dog who belongs to a retired judge, Joseph kern. The film shows the two character's lives slowly **** movie also has other characters like Auguste and his girlfriend who are connected wonderfully. The strange connection of Auguste to the judge and the ending where all characters from previous movie coming out of the ferry are all what makes me love this film so much. It's outrageous when we get to know that the Academy didn't even nominate this film for Best picture.

Stimulating closing trilogy. Chance, or whatever, joins the paths of a retired judge and a photographic model in a story about fraternity, the red color of the French flag, with an ending that leaves an indelible mark.

The film courses with vitality -- and makes you glad to be alive. Kieslowski's deft touch gives Red its real magic; in the end, the subtle nuances are what stay with you.

Red is the best of the lot: warmer, more accessible, unusually generous toward its characters. A mystical tale of chance encounters and unexpected connections, Red uses a traffic accident as a springboard to discovery.
By Edward Guthmann FULL REVIEW

Red succeeds so stirringly that it also bestows some much-needed magic upon its predecessors, "Blue" and "White." The first film's chic emptiness and the second's relative drabness are suddenly made much rosier by the seductive glow of Red.

This is the kind of film that makes you feel intensely alive while you're watching it, and sends you out into the streets afterwards eager to talk deeply and urgently, to the person you are with. Whoever that happens to be.

Exquisitely shot, superbly acted and deftly written, this is easily one of the best arthouse films of the nineties.

A perfect film, from script to direction. One of the most affecting and absorbing stories I've ever experienced, with impeccable execution in every element. One of the most acclaimed works of cinema ever and one of my absolute favourites. Krzysztof, thank you.

Trintignant carries the mysteriousness of this film to perfection. An interesting tale of morality. The production is captivating and the parallel themes work together well to make it an attention holding view.

A boring movie with veeeery slow pace and an unimportant story. Nice to see Switzerland during the 90s.

I was confused during the whole movie. Didn't understand what was going on. Maybe I should've watched the previous two movies.

This movie is one of the most boring films I've ever tried to sit through. Nothing climatic in the entire movie!
