Three Colours: Red (1994)

This is a part of this project because, as the book says, it "casts the entire trilogy in a new light". The book skips White, so if this is included only to tie the trilogy, then it should be counted as one, rather than the (excellent) first, then the third, which is less so. 

The film, like the others, deals with a mostly superfluous topic. Exceptionally close below the surface of the story is the emotional core, which is carefully, constantly, hinted at, but never brought to light. Its this tease which allows us to decide on the actions as ourselves.
