| Description: | Valentine is a young model living in Geneva. Because of a dog she ran over, she meets a retired judge who spies his neighbours' phone calls, not for money but to feed his cynicism. The film is the story of relationships between some human beings, Valentine and the judge, but also other people who may not be aware of the relationship they have with Valentine or/and the old judge. Redemption, forgiveness and compassion... | Comments: | It's no coincidence that the character at the heart of this film (Jacob) is named "Valentine". "Three Colors: Red" is a thinking person's drama which tells of a Geneva model whose life is on a collision course with those of two men. Artistically and technically excellent sans the usual tawdry tinsel of domestic studio flicks, "Red" seems pure, dignified, and elegant as it tells a fatalistic tale of human interconnectedness with grace, beauty, no filler, and minimal dialogue (making for an easy subtitle read). During the run, many scenes seem unrelated. However, the last few scenes connect the dots making the watch worthy and worthwhile. A rare and critically lauded film, "Three Colors: Red" will be most appreciated by foreign film buffs and anyone into serious high-minded drama. (A)Note - I checked this film out on the Rotten Tomatoes website and found the score bar to be 100% red...a rarity for a film with so many reviews. "Red" was all red.
