Three Colours: Red

"This is the kind of film that makes you feel intensely alive while you're watching it, and sends you out into the streets afterwards eager to talk deeply and urgently, to the person you are with."

"The external brilliance of its making does at times subvert its inner workings, as if its manufacture and its meaning were not quite in perfect harmony."

"Red succeeds so stirringly that it also bestows some much-needed magic upon its predecessors, Blue and White."

"The third and best feature of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s highly ambitious Three Colours trilogy..."

"Red is the best of the (trilogy): warmer, more accessible, unusually generous toward its characters."

"Stunningly beautiful, powerfully scored and immaculately performed, the film is virtually flawless... A masterpiece."

"In this final installment of a glorious trilogy... (Kieślowski) has saved his greatest for last."

"Exquisitely shot, superbly acted and deftly written, this is easily one of the best arthouse films of the nineties."

"The longer you consider its self-reflexive and labyrinthine self-awareness, the more Kieślowski and cinematographer Piotr Sobociński’s exquisite chromatography astounds."

"(Jacob) has never been so radiant as in her work with Kieślowski."
