A Short Film About Love
Why this pick
Kieślowski similarly observes loneliness and desire with great moral delicacy, transforming a spare urban premise into an intimate study of unreachable closeness.
03
In the Mood for Love
Why this pick
For Blue’s controlled heartbreak, saturated visual design, and aching use of recurring music: this is another exquisitely restrained portrait of people circling profound loss and longing.
04
Three Times
Why this pick
Its three quiet variations on love favor gesture, atmosphere, and ellipsis over declaration, matching Blue’s trust in silence and emotional afterimages.
05
Vagabond
Why this pick
A more bracing companion to Blue, it pairs a fragmented structure with compassionate, unsentimental attention to a woman cutting herself loose from ordinary attachments.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Julie (Juliette Binoche), wife of the famous composer Patrice de Courcy, must cope with the death of her husband and daughter in an automobile accident she herself survives. While recovering in hospital, Julie attempts suicide by overdose, but cannot swallow the pills. After being released from hospital, Julie, who it is suggested wrote (or helped to write) much of her husband's famous pieces, destroys what is left behind of them. Calling Olivier (Benoît Régent), an unmarried collaborator of her husband's who has always admired her, she spends a night with him and says goodbye. Emptying the family house and putting it up for sale, she takes an apartment in Paris near Rue Mouffetard without telling anyone, her only memento being a mobile of blue beads that the viewer assumes belonged to her daughter.
