I did not see that one coming at all.<br />I think I've seen that album somewhere...I'm just not sure where. This is going to bug me for the rest of the day, now.<br /><br /><b>Nikhat</b> - Yeah, I'd like to watch these in a few years time with a different, more grown up perspective on them. I think that would really help.<br />And I've seen four of his films (this trilogy and The Double Life of Veronique). He was a brilliant film-maker!<br /><br /><b>Steven</b> - Ha, I never knew that his music was in The Tree of Life! You learn something new every day...<br /><br /><b>James</b> - Wow.<br /><br /><b>Ruth</b> - Definitely give them a go. They're brilliant!<br /><br /><b>Bonjour Tristesse</b> - I'd love to have the Criterion blu-ray! That's so awesome. Hope you like them...again.<br /><br /><b>Alexandre</b> - Wow, that's interesting. It was a very interesting love story indeed!Stevee Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284769251750574447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-43238925902033455132011-11-24T19:50:00.788+13:002011-11-24T19:50:00.788+13:00Kieslowski considered White his favourite because ...Kieslowski considered White his favourite because he said it was a love story. :-)<br /><br />Alexandre Fabbri<br />KIESLOWSKI'S WORLDAlexandre Fabbrihttp://www.weronika.freeserve.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-77232796226345338192011-11-23T23:14:16.369+13:002011-11-23T23:14:16.369+13:00Great writeup!

Perhaps I'll try to see one every week.

For that matter I've been left cold by pretty much anything I've seen with Kieslowski's name attached (especially L'enfer, which was made posthumously from one of his scripts and which irritated five shades of hell out of me).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-51905998803237984492011-11-22T19:25:37.513+13:002011-11-22T19:25:37.513+13:00Blue is my favorite of the trilogy due to its visu...<i>Blue</i> is my favorite of the trilogy due to its visuals and that story of a woman in anguish.<br /><br />In fact, I love all three of those films as each one had something different to offer. I'm hoping to get the Criterion DVD set for the holidays so I can give away my old copy to the local library. Oh, as far as the music of Preisner is concerned. You might've heard some of his work in that famous Creation sequence in <i>The Tree of Life</i>. I love Preisner's work.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587775651487578742.post-74542169552255171402011-11-22T19:24:38.276+13:002011-11-22T19:24:38.276+13:00I have not seen White, and it's been a while s...I have not seen White, and it's been a while since I saw the other two.

BLUE definitely needs ...Glad you liked the trilogy. BLUE definitely needs some time to mull over before you appreciate it, but it is a beautiful film. Binoche is my favourite actress (aside from Isabelle Huppert in THE PIANO TEACHER, simply the best acting performance of all time).<br /><br />RED is of course my favourite too. I just love the dialogue... it is so enriching and beautifully written. The storyline is achingly beautiful, as is Irene Jacob, and the connection between her and the Judge forms one of the greatest friendships in movie history. The end scene (particularly the astonishingly beautiful final shot of Jacob) almost made me cry.<br /><br />The music that you and I both love is by Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner, who made the music for all Kieslowski's films, and when Kieslowski died, wrote a whole album of music dedicated to him, calling it Requiem for My Friend. Definitely check out some of Preisner's music, it is all wonderful.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
