Our take on Three Colors: Red

The luminous finale of Kieślowski's Three Colours trilogy follows a young model whose chance encounter with a reclusive retired judge — and his habit of eavesdropping on neighbours — blossoms into an unlikely bond about fate, connection and second chances. Quietly mysterious and exquisitely shot, it's European art cinema at its most humane. If its contemplative warmth and sense of destiny moved you, seek out lyrical character dramas where coincidence and longing intertwine.
