A set of dramas by Krysztof Kieslowski.
In each film, the characters get into ironic situations that are designed to demonstrate liberty, equality and fraternity. In the blue film, a wife's husband and daughter are killed in a car accident and she goes to great lengths to "reset" her life. In the white, a husband and wife get divorced and the husband turns to illegal activities and revenge. In the red film, A young woman with an obsessive boyfriend who is away on a trip hits a dog with her car and finds that the owner is spying on his neighbors.
The style and production value of all these films was great. Unfortunately, the plots were not all good and the pace was extremely slow. It would be accurate to describe them as very French, as they had that European artsy style to them. I'm rating them o.k. because the premise was great, but the delivery lacked interest.
