that's it, adam and matty. you've now promised us a kieslowski marathon, and we're holding you to it.
It's already on the site!
I'm really glad you're doing Kieslowski next. It was the Filmspotting forum that introduced me to Kieslowski and he has become my second favorite director of all time.
Let me tell you, guys, why the Colors Trilogy will end up being your number one trilogy of all time.
First of all, the cinematography is stunning. If you think that every shot of the Alienation Trilogy could be studied, wait until you see Blue. For just plain beauty, I wish I could be showing this film on the wall of my room at all times.
Secondly, they are the perfect balance between plot and mood. Blue is more of a mood film, while White is more of a plot film, but together they make a perfect balance between Wong Kar-Wai and Kieslowski's earlier television ethical drama The Decalogue.
There are many more reasons why this will be your favorite trilogy, but let me give you just one more. There is a perfect economy of character and narrative. Never do the characters speak when they could show, and the stories unfold with perfect intensity.
I know that I could be building your expectations too high, but frankly, these films can meet and exceed any hype that you might have heard coming to them.
Enjoy. And I expect a full re-write of your top 5 trilogies after you see these three classic films.
