Abstract
Krzysztof Kieślowski employed film properties in a creative way in his Three Colours (Trois couleurs, 1993–94) trilogy. They play various roles in Blue (Bleu, 1993), White (Blanc, 1993) and Red (Rogue, 1994): they make the presented world more probable, co-create images of heroes, build dramaturgy and convey symbolic content. Such a treatment of film props is shaped by the director’s film style and creates a specific cinematic atmosphere.
Highlights
Krzysztof Kieślowski employed lm properties in a creative way in his ree Colours (Trois couleurs, – ) trilogy. ey play various roles in Blue (Bleu, ), White (Blanc, ) and Red (Rogue, ): they make the presented world more probable, co-create images of heroes, build dramaturgy and convey symbolic content
In Kieślowski’s cinematic output, one can point to two larger, autonomous entities, thematically separated and linked by an overriding main idea: the television series e Decalogue (Dekalog, – ) and the triptych ree Colours (Trois couleurs, – )
Both implement a coherent aesthetic concept, and in both there is an element that is superimposed over all the parts and that indicates the direction for the interpretation of particular works. It is a collection of canonical moral commands originating from the Christian religion; in the second case, the point of reference is constituted by the colours of the French ag, symbolised by the ideals of the revolution of : freedom, equality, and brotherhood. ese following considerations, will be devoted entirely to the ree Colours triptych
Summary
Krzysztof Kieślowski employed lm properties in a creative way in his ree Colours (Trois couleurs, – ) trilogy. ey play various roles in Blue (Bleu, ), White (Blanc, ) and Red (Rogue, ): they make the presented world more probable, co-create images of heroes, build dramaturgy and convey symbolic content. As in the rst case, the prop becomes the nodal object of the world presented, organising the lm’s subsequent events, pushing the action forward and enriching the on-screen story with new, attractive plot motifs.
