The final film directed by Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski, Red concluded his trilogy based around the colours of the French flag, and is a poignant, beautifully cinematic reflection on the connectedness of all humanity. The film centres on a striking performance from Irène Jacob as Valentine, a model who befriends an embittered retired judge (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who spends his time eavesdropping on his neighbours’ phone conversations. From this starting point Kieslowski weaves a range of characters into the story, creating a unique and unsurpassed exploration of fraternité.
