A chance encounter brings together two solitary individuals—a model (Irène Jacob) and a retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant)—in Kieślowski’s meditation on the need for “fraternity.”
Kieślowski returned to his native Poland for this earthy, very Eastern European comedy involving a beaten-down Pole who aims for “equality” and plots revenge against his beautiful French ex-wife (Julie Delpy).
After a tragic loss, a young woman (Juliette Binoche) seeks to liberate herself from all connections in the first installment (“Liberty”) of Kieślowski’s trilogy based on the symbolic colors of the French flag.
