BLUE Liberty
Julie de Courcy is the survivor of an auto accident that claimed her daughter Anna and husband Patrice.
Patrice was a well-known composer, who was working on a concerto for the Unification of Europe ceremony.
This hypnotic spellbinding film is quite the journey.
Juliette Binoche gives a career-defining performance as Julie.
She wrestles with what direction her life should take and ultimately decides to live alone, because "nothing's important", "No friends. I don't want any belongings, any memories. No love. Those things are all traps".
She feels like she lost everything, and in a way she has. She finds out later that her hubby had an affair, and that the chicky he fucked is now pregnant.
She becomes friends with a woman who lives in her building that is "loose", a "whore".
Her neighbors all want to kick her out because she doesn't represent the ideals of the tenants. Julie refuses to sign a petition to have her kicked out.
She has flings, she works on the music her husband was working on, she is searching for something.
If anyone knows Kieslowski, they know that he's complex and
deep. His cinema is profoundly intelligent and you had better be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster ride.
Binoche is a classy French actress who won Best Actress at Venice (1993) for this film.
