Still catching my breath after the thread I just started. Anyway. I was just at the IMDB, looking up a film that was mentioned in IMHO (incomprehensible movies), and it reminded me of a series of movies that I’ve never seen, but vaguely thought sounded interesting.
I belive they were called Red, White and Blue, as in the colors of the French flag. They were a trilogy, released over the span between the '80s and '90s, and I think the director had a name that was mostly consonants: Krykzykykry (No offense to anyone). I looked up the titles, but I found only a short film under “Red”, a single-serving film under “Blue”, and nothing under “White”, “Rouge”, “Blanc” or “Bleu”.
Now I know I didn’t hallucinate these titles. So why can’t I find anything?
That is pretty odd you can’t find them under their English titles. They’re listed as Three Colors: Red, Three Colors: White and Three Colors: Blue, but you’re right, it would make more sense to list them (and allow searches as) Red, White and Blue.
But anyway, I remembered how to spell the director’s name well enough to find his listing, and it includes listings for the three films:
I would say that these are the most critically overrate tripe of the past decade. “Blue” was stupid and trivial, “White” tolerable but ultimately nonsense, “Red” forgettable garbage. Kieslowski hasn’t a clue about how real human beings behave and seems to think arbitrary actions are a sign of character. I kept going back after each disappointment, hoping to find something there, but, like Oakland, there’s no there there.
