Three Colors: Blue, White, Red (The Criterion Collection) [DVD]

Excellent 4k copy. I had this in bluray already but wanted the finest picture to add to my library.

good seller

"Trois Couleurs: Bleu, Blanc, Rouge" is my favorite film series of all time. This magnum opus of Kieslowski is a clear love letter to Paris to to his home country of Poland."Amélie" & "The Sixth Sense" clearly derive their symbolic uses of colors from Kieslowski.I watch this film over & over. If you're a true cinéphile, then you must add this to your film collection.

Three stories are related, somewhat entangled with each other and yet function each in its own manner. The acting is superb and the stories are compelling, but few in the U.S beyond critics and film buffs are aware of many foreign films and others are too readily avoiding anything for which they feel the need of subtitles is too large of a problem.Forget about the need to read subtitles if you are not the polyglot. You will miss all too much by limiting your attention to media without the subtitles. If you have to read the print on the screen, it is still well worth the effort.

This is my favorite film trilogy of all time, and this is a lovely boxed set. I can’t wait to watch them in 4K.

This is a very different style of movie, more thoughtful, less obvious and ultimately a bit wonderful. Great director, great cinematography, acting for most part was first rate. Would say undiscovered gems but these are fairly well known though perhaps not as much to US audiences.

Video is better than the DVD. Seems grainy, but the BD version has more detail than the DVD version. Color is not as saturated (see picture with BD version scaled down) in a few scenes on the BD version. I'm divided on this, even though the more subtle color stands on its own too. Didn't notice a difference in audio quality from the DVD. Criterion version is missing audio commentaries on the DVD... which I knew before buying.Addenum for 4k: The HDR on the 4k takes care of the problem I had with the washed out color on the BD. The movie looks good, but it strikes me as odd, since I've been used to seeing it in non-HDR for decades. Aside from the HDR, not much different from the BD version.

Just finished all the features, took awhile as there is a lot included but I enjoyed them. Would recommend to anyone who liked the films. This trilogy makes you think long after it’s over. Personally I like Red the best and enjoy those supplements the most but don’t regret buying the collection as all the features and short films were informative and enjoyable. If you liked the Dekalog you should like this and the opposite should also be true.
