Charlotte Véry

One summer, the young Felicie and Charles fall deeply, passionately in love. Five years later, after accidentally giving him a false address, she is raising his child and drifting back and forth between two infatuated men with whom she’s unwilling, or unable, to settle down.

An arthouse staple of the ’90s, the Three Colors films hold up some twenty years later as complex, emotionally resonant, and visually beguiling tales of contemporary Europe. The first part, Blue, is a story of death and rebirth that features a tour-de-force performance by Juliette Binoche.
