The Three Colors trilogy


The Three Colors trilogy Polish Trzy kolory , French Trois couleurs is the collective title of three films directed by Krzysztof Kielowski, two made in French and one primarily in Polish Three Colors Blue 1993, Three Colors White 1994, and Three Colors Red 1994. All three were cowritten by Kielowski and Krzysztof Piesiewicz with story consultants Agnieszka Holland and Sawomir Idziak and have musical scores by Zbigniew Preisner.

Blue, white, and red are the colours of the French flag in lefttoright order, and the story of each film is loosely based on one of the three political ideals in the motto of the French Republic liberty, equality, fraternity. As with the treatment of the Ten Commandments in The Decalogue, the illustration of these principles is often ambiguous and ironic. As Kielowski noted in an interview with an Oxford University student newspaper, The words libert, egalit, fraternit are French because the money to fund the films is French. If the money had been of a different nationality we would have titled the films differently, or they might have had a different cultural connotation. But the films would probably have been the same.Music for all three parts of the trilogy was composed by Zbigniew Preisner and performed by Silesian Philharmonic choir along with Sinfonia Varsovia. ........
