Three Colours: Red

WAFS invites you this Sunday to see the screening of "Red", concluding Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colours" trilogy. This cinematic tour de force stars Irène Jacob and Jean-Louis Trintignant.

Synopsis:


"Red" relates the story of Valentine (Jacob), a naive student, whose tale centers about her meeting with a retired judge, Joseph Kern (Trintingnant), unknowingly to her an eavesdropper on the phone conversations of his neighbours. As his emotional seclusion and cynicism is thawed by Valentine's kindness, he reveals his secrets to her.

The vicious cyclicity of Kern's pain is mirrored in the story of one of his other neighbours, the young Auguste, a student about to embark on his law exams. As his academic dedication starts to alienate his girlfriend, Auguste, fate recreates Kern path in his own and erects a the very same wall about himself.

In turn, the lives of Valentine and Auguste zig-zag about each other, coming ever so close, yet never touching until...
