    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At the 2018 Visegrad Film Forum, cinematographer Slawomir Idziak claimed that the script and initial cut of this film focused on the journalist character (played by Hélène Vincent) and her efforts to investigate the authorship of the unfinished musical composition that drives the plot. It was only during the editing process that director Krzysztof Kieslowski re-structured the film to focus on Julie (played by Juliette Binoche).
    • Goofs
      The speech given at the funeral states Julie's daughter's age as 5, but the dates on the coffin (26/04/1985 - 07/09/1992) would make her 7 years old.
    • Quotes

      Julie Vignon: Now I have only one thing left to do: nothing. I don't want any belongings, any memories. No friends, no love. Those are all traps.

    • Crazy credits
      The final credit says in French, "We thank Alfa Romeo who allowed the scene of the accident to the Alfa 164 whose dynamics are of course purely imaginary."

      Featured in The 51st Annual Golden Globe Awards (1994)

    A Beautiful Film
    Blue is one of those little movies that grows on you. The more you think about it the more you like it. That's not to say that it's not enjoyable to view; the cinematography and music are marvelous. But this is Juliette Binoche's movie. Everything revolves around her character, Julie, who, in the first scene, survives an automobile accident that claims the lives of her famous composer husband and her five-year-old daughter. Now alone the remainder of the movie delves into Julie's long emotional recovery. Not traumatic, or depressing as the subject matter may imply it is instead subtle, graceful, and beautiful.
