The three colours trilogy ( Visual )
5 editions published between 1993 and 2007 in French and held by 32 libraries worldwide
The trilogy of films named after the colors of the French flag (blue--liberty, white--equality, red--fraternity), describes what these well-known historical notions mean to us today, who already possess liberty, who are equal, and for whom fraternity is a common ideal. In Blue liberty is not treated in a social or political way but the liberty of life itself. A beautiful woman is devastated after the accidental death of her husband, a renowned composer, and her young daughter. She returns to living her life again only when she allows music to protect her from loneliness. The sequel to Blue, Three colours white is a black comedy that examines equality. It tells the story of Polish hairdresser Karol whose life disintegrates when his beautiful wife of six months deserts him. The final film of the trilogy Three colours red symbolises fraternity and deals with the nature of coincidence, parallel lives and unlikely friendships. An unlikely event brings together the main characters from Blue, White and Red in a haunting end to the trilogy.
