Three Colors: Blue Page #4

Synopsis: The first part of Kieslowski's trilogy on France's national motto: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. 'Blue' is the story of Julie who loses her husband, an acclaimed composer and her young daughter in a car accident. The film's theme of liberty is manifested in Julie's attempt to start life anew, free of personal commitments, belongings, grief or love. She intends to numb herself by withdrawing from the world and living completely independently, anonymously and in solitude in the Parisian metropolis. Despite her intentions, people from her former and present life intrude with their own needs. However, the reality created by the people who need and care about her, a surprising discovery and the music around which the film revolves heal Julie and draws her back to the land of the living.

Do you know what the chorus sings?

I thought Patrice had told you.

In Greek, the rhythm is different.

- Who was that girl?

- What girl?

In the photos on the program.

She was with Patrice.

Didn't you know?

Just tell me, were they together?

Yes.

Since when?

Several years.

- Where does she live?

- Near Montparnasse.

They often met at the courts.

She is a lawyer.

Or she works for one.

What do you want to do?

Meet her.

Excuse me.

What about equality?

Is it because I don't speak French

that the court won't hear my case?

Excuse me.

Yes?

- You were my husband's mistress?

- Yes.

I didn't know. I just found out.

It's a shame.

Now you'll hate him, and me too.

I don't know...

Of course you will.

It is his child?

Yes.

But he didn't know.

I found out after the accident.

I didn't want a child but it happened.

Now I want to keep it.

Do you have a cigarette?

You shouldn't.

Do you want to know

when and where?

No.

- You want to know if he loved me?

- Yes, that was my question.

Why ask, I know he loved you.

Yes.

He loved me.

Julie...

Will you hate me now?

Come in.

What happened?

You met her?

Once you asked me

to take Patrice's papers.

- You didn't want to.

- No, but if I had...

- The photos were among them?

- Yes.

If I had taken them,

I'd have known.

And if I had burned them,

I'd never have known.

That's right.

Maybe it's better this way.

Can you show me

what you've composed?

- These are violins?

- The altos.

And now...

Wait a second. Lighter,

without the percussions.

Lets remove the trumpets.

- Instead of a piano...

- A Flute?

Flute... Start back here.

That's as far as I got.

- And the finale?

- I don't know.

There was a paper.

The counterpoint was supposed

to come back.

He told me, it is memento.

Try weaving it back in.

Van den Budenmayer?

He wanted to allude to him at the

end. You know how much he loved him.

- Are you still in touch with our lawyer?

- Sometimes.

- Did he sell the house yet?

- I don't know.

- I doubt it. He'd have called.

- Tell him not to.

If you can handle all this,

will you show me?

Yes.

There was a mattress inside.

Mr. Olivier bought it.

- I didn't think you would need it.

- That's fine.

Good morning.

Have you been here before?

No. Never.

Upstairs are the bedrooms and the

office. I'll show you them later.

This is the Kitchen.

It's always been like this.

- Is it a boy or a girl?

- Boy.

Have you chosen a name?

Yes.

I thought... he should have

his name and his house.

- Do you still need me?

- No, you can go home. Thank you.

- I knew it.

- What?

- Patrice told me a lot about you.

- Really? Like what?

That you are good.

That's what you want to be.
