Piotr Sobocinski's photography is not only beautiful to behold but thoroughly exquisite in richness and detail. Like masterful, painterly compositions, they imbue the film with a certain look and mystique. The quiet, intelligent conversations between Jean-Louis Trintignant and Irene Jacob are riveting. Zbigniew Presiner's score is beautifully dirge-like and ethereal. The best out of the Three Colors Trilogy.

This movie has the most intriguing plot explained in such vividly-red-themed settings that at times I was engrossed in the scenes, totally forgetting to read the subtitle. I also love the way the movie leaves room for different interpretations. It is a serious kinda movie but you just can't get bored. Your eyes are evoked with imagery, your mind with shrewd dialogues, and your heart with broken romance. A great film!

It's like the most beautifully shot Dickens' film (that isn't a Dickens' film). I wonder if the narrative's sometimes staggering reliance on coincidence (the trait that it shares with so much of Dickens' fiction) sometimes lessens what is otherwise poetic, artful, and affecting (especially visually affecting) about the film. Most enjoyed the scenes between Trintignant and Jacob.

Epic conclusion in an epic trilogy. This is like the best trilogy i've ever watched in my life. Hail Kieslowski !

Me gusta que esta película difiera con las clásicas historias de amor (porque al final eso fue), dista mucho de las películas cursi, este es una forma mas cruda y real de como se vive en una relación, y aparte hay una atmósfera que es común en las películas de Kieslowski, algo como etéreo que me agrada.

GEEZ! This is the film. I immediately fell in love and then two days later after seeing it, Criterion releases the whole trilogy. Perfection.

I am deeply, deeply moved and affected by these three films. I cannot say that I've ever had a cinematic experience quite like it. All three films are ethereal, mystical meditations unto themselves, but with the summation comes a colossal catharsis. Sadness doesn't even begin to describe the loss of Kieslowski. He left us with a bewitching human trilogy that will remain in my soul for years to come.

I’m not sure I completely grasped this film’s sprawling narrative and ambiguity, but I still sure enjoyed it a lot. Extremely intriguing, and quite a haunting work all-round. And of course, it’s not without Kieslowski’s usual, stunning sense of rhythm, sensuality and humanism.

Jean-Louis Trintignant was robbed of an oscar nomination, and the film itself should have won the oscar for screenplay for its excellent relationship of the three main characters (Valentine, The Judge, Auguste) and its use of the color "RED" throughout the film.

Interesting, but uneven. The dense atmosphere and strong performances make for a number of engrossing sequences, but it can also be meandering at times, which makes it loose tension as a whole in places. A good film, but I don't think I can get on board with the acclaim others have given it.

i saw this film for the second time today. amazing. after countless of reflections back and fourth i realize that i prefer red over the double life of véronique. but to be honest, both are equally amazing (i'm just forcing myself to pick one) beautiful iréne jacob offers tremendious performance in both movies. she such a delightful and captivating actress! i am sure that Kieslowski was proud with his discovery.

+1 for iréne jacob. I still can not decide on which movie that deserves a higher score. Red or véronique? aesthetically speaking, the double life of véronique has the upper hand and the lead character is also much more captivating. but i think red has a little bit more substance and i enjoyed the ending more..
