Groundbreaking movie with 100% rating is 'has warning for us all'
The concluding chapter of a captivating trilogy, this film has left an indelible mark on audiences, exploring powerful themes of politics, social matters and human connections.
Three Colours: Red serves as the finale to the Three Colours trilogy, following Blue and White, with each examining the fundamental principles of the French Revolution - Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. Released in 1994, this groundbreaking psychological mystery represents the work of a single creative vision, written, directed and produced by filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski.
Admirers of arthouse cinema have been thoroughly captivated by the feature, awarding it a perfect 100 per cent rating on review platform Rotten Tomatoes. The film's exploration of intimate bonds and the way people's destinies become intricately woven together has resonated deeply with audiences, who have penned glowing testimonials, reports the Express.
One viewer declared: "The greatest accomplishment in cinema of the 1990s. You must see all three films in the trilogy: White, Blue, then Red, and watch them in that order. They are amazing, the masterwork of a genius who died shortly after completing the trilogy."
The visual palette of each instalment reflects its titular hue, enhancing the artistic brilliance of this exceptional cinema, as numerous critics have observed. Another review proclaimed: "This is a gorgeously shot film. The story is very different and unique in its tone and characters, so well written and acted by some amazing performers. This is a must-see." Another commented: "It is a warning of what may come if we isolate ourselves from others and cut off communication."
Since its debut, Three Colours: Red has been hailed as the crowning achievement of the trilogy, earning its place among the finest French language films ever crafted. The film garnered industry-wide acclaim, securing three prestigious Academy Award nominations, including Best Director for the late Kielowski.
The narrative follows Valentine, a University of Geneva student who moonlights as a model and finds herself trapped in a controlling relationship with her boyfriend. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she accidentally injures a dog belonging to a retired judge, leading to an unlikely friendship despite their apparent differences. Red delves into themes of destiny, interconnectedness, and the intricate web of human relationships.
One review praised: "The cinematography and camera angles used were very intriguing, and the use of colour was interesting. The colour red was used to signify the important characters in the movie and to highlight important things. What a great movie and what a lovely actress. Very cute and charming."

'Crazy' Netflix thriller with rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes score leaves fans 'blown away'
Netflix has quietly released a new limited series which has left fans hooked.

Although it has only been out for a few weeks, the series boasts a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has garnered some rave reviews from fans. The official synopsis reads: "As illegal firearms flood into a gun-free South Korea, a resolute cop and a mysterious partner join forces to stop the chaos from sweeping the nation."

Fans took to Google Reviews to share their thoughts, with Aboli Jagtap sharing: "This series is so good, it's fresh, intense, and absolutely worth watching.

ITV shares first-look at Game of Thrones star's 'intoxicating' new thriller
The six-part thriller is set to air later this year, starring The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln and Indira Varma. ITV has unveiled the first glimpse of its upcoming thriller, Coldwater. The six-part series, set to premiere this autumn, stars Andrew Lincoln of The Walking Dead fame and Indira Varma from Obsession. Set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater and filmed in and around Glasgow, the plot revolves around Andrew's character John, who finds himself at the heart of eerie occurrences as past traumas resurface. John relocates his family to the rural tranquillity of Coldwater in an attempt to distance themselves from London. However, he soon grows frustrated with his mundane existence as a middle-aged stay-at-home dad, his suppressed anger threatening to disrupt his life as he knows it. Following an identity crisis in London, where John failed to intervene in a violent playground confrontation, he yearns for a more peaceful future for his family, only to encounter further disturbances in Coldwater. Upon arrival, he quickly forms a friendship with his next-door neighbour Tommy, portrayed by Ewen Bremner. Tommy is a charismatic, self-assured man and a dedicated husband to the local vicar Rebecca, played by Eve Myles, reports the Express. On the surface, Tommy appears to be a man of faith, a community stalwart, and the self-proclaimed leader of the village's all-male book group. Initially impressed and somewhat intrigued by Tommy, John soon finds himself ensnared in his web. Meanwhile, his spouse Fiona, portrayed by Indira, harbours deep resentment towards him following their relocation to Coldwater, as what was meant to be a fresh start has utterly failed to rekindle their deteriorating relationship. As her husband grows increasingly close to their mysterious new neighbour, Fiona's alarm bells begin ringing and she starts questioning whether Tommy is genuinely who he claims to be. John's long-suppressed fury eventually erupts with catastrophic consequences, leaving him surprisingly beholden to his newfound companion, completely oblivious to the fact that Tommy is concealing deeply disturbing secrets of his own. It's only when a string of disturbing events begins unfolding that John starts questioning Tommy's true identity. The synopsis hints: "This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. "A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous." Coldwater has been penned, conceived and executive produced by David Ireland, with Lee Haven Jones (Doctor Who) helming the opening three episodes and Andrew Cumming (Shetland) taking charge of the latter half. Speaking previously, creator David revealed in a statement: "Cold Water started with a question I was asking myself. Where do I want to live - the countryside or the city? Such an innocent beginning, but from it came this dark, funny, twisted thriller. "I was delighted when Sister loved the script and thrilled when ITV decided to commission it. "And I'm amazed we've managed to attract such a peerless cast, led by the formidable Andrew Lincoln. I hope viewers will find it intoxicating." Coldwater is set to premiere on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV player this autumn.
