The first installment of Polish cinematic genius Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colors trilogy, Blue stands for liberty (in the French national motto) and is the first color of the French flag. A young Frenchwoman (Juliette Binoche) tries to uncover her famous composer husband's secret life after he dies mysteriously. Each step takes her both closer to and further from the truth as she journeys on a path ultimately leading to self-discovery.
