The start of the award-winning and highly acclaimed trilogy based on the three colours and ideals - blue (liberty), white (equality) and red (brotherhood) - of the French flag and French Revolution. In this enthralling opening film, winner of the Golden Lion as Best Film at the Venice Film Festival, Juliette Binoche delivers a luminous performance of repressed grief and anger as a young wife facing up to the death of her composer husband and daughter in a car crash. She decides to sweep away all traces of the past and present - but finds it's not easy to start afresh.
