The first instalment of Kieslowski's critically acclaimed trilogy, based on the colours of the French flag, crystallises the essence of Binoche's appeal. The film begins and ends on her face in extreme close-up; its beauty attracts the camera like a magnet but its mask-like smoothness also exudes a sense of mystery which brilliantly serves the film, while her tragic fate provides the keynote to her persona as the star of serious art cinema.
