Conversation With Juliette Binoche On Kieslowski

From the Three Colors Bleu DVD.

[@Siulsr]

Turning down Jurassic Park gave her the best role of her career. She is magnificent in the whole movie.

[@StonefieldJim4]

Binoche and Kieslowski: an artistic marriage made in heaven.

[@sevvalnurozturk]

irene jacob and kielowski too

[@VelvetCat1]

When one finds out that a movie like Blue was made mostly in single takes, it's just mind blowing for me. It's an achievement like an athlete marking a world record in olympics or something like that

[@js2010ish]

[@LMB222]

"I miss him tremendously... possibly because of the potential". That's it.

[@pereiraelcristian]

Juliette, that was one of your best films ever. thanks

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

Kieslowski was so amazing, love his movies

[@lauralunaazul]

She s so amazing. Kieslowski too. I love all his films and all her films, so. Bleu was one of the best films I ever saw, and one of my favourites. As "Le double vie du Veronique" too, my favourite one.

[@samhartford8677]

Exactly my two favourites. They are like spiritual experiences. Not movies.

[@marsabat]

Same here. Probably Veronique comes first on my list, but the choice is hard.

[@alecshroyer1569]

I didn't know that she turned down Jurassic Park to make "Blue".

[@Onmysheet]

Best decision of her career.

Good choice

[@flormendoza2588]

How sensible of hers... 💜 great actress

[@zomboy28]

Blue is a masterpiece the whole trilogy is perfection, still my favourite films they are so moving and you get more from each viewing

[@kimlinden2280]

The trilogy is on my top 10 list of favorite films. And, I agree there is so much to gain from multiple viewings. For Blue, the way music is used in the film, suddenly crashing in to her moments of triggered grief, is astonishing. And, Binoche conveys so much about grief, in so many scenes, without words and tears.

[@heinrichkleist3473]

Jurassic Park couldn't possibly be more opposite to Bleu. She certainly made the artistic choice.

[@dougo891]

Having juat watched Blue for perhaps the 15th time in 4 months, this is my favorite of the three

[@leonkane8570]

In its own terms, Jurassic Park is equally impressive. Diminish a movie because it's a Hollywood blockbuster.... classic

[@magorzatamargaret294]

@@leonkane8570 - Hollywood production are all the same - similar faces, similar stories, similar situations....after years it is so boring...

[@leonkane8570]

@@magorzatamargaret294 Oh yeah, I forgot today it's all about supporting a cause.... lame, aesthetics come first, then ideology, and for that reason Jurassic Park became such an important film, never thinks too much of itself, unlike, for example, Black Panther, the solemnity of this film, I can't even... Sure there's a lot of Hollywood products that seem to be done in a lab but that's not always the case. There's no way they're all the same

[@nwsanagnwsths]

I like the way she Speaks English... How Smart she talks❤

This amazing actress has light inside on her because while she is speaking seriouly I noticed that I am smiling for watching that incredible face and so smart and deeple human being. thanks for the interview. I love Juliettebinoche, she is great actress and such a beautiful and elegant lady.

[@L.M1792]

A favourite of all time, we wouldn’t like her so much if not for this role. Thanks for doing this film.

[@kimlinden2280]

It was a great role. I find she is amazing in every movie I have seen her in, which is over 30 or so that I have found on streaming.

[@L.M1792]

@@kimlinden2280 30 movies? surely that's obsession watching one person act in 30 movies. ha ha. only this role struck a chord with me. I have flashes of not being able to recall who or where I was for many months after awaking from my road accident. they are images not feelings. her performance rekindled something of this for me. I survived. We endure. We encourage more days yet. good luck on your journey.

[@zackyko]

beautiful woman...smart too!!!there's a lot of them!!!Bless them all!!!

[@sdroy84agt]

Juliette Binoche is the best actor of her generation by a distance and Kieslowski the best director of his generation by a fair margin ( on Scorcese, Kiarostami, Hou and Lynch.) I consider Tarr the best since Kieslowski.

[@aem3703]

I agree with you on Kieslowski and Tarr. My favorite is Tarkovski.

[@zuzanaSimurdova]

What an amazing artistic relationship!

[@Eurafrican]

touching ending, she summed up the film's ethos. elle est une actrice incroyable :)

[@explorerelka]

I would've imagined her speaking French with Kieslowski. Surely he spoke it well for him to have made such wonderful films in France.

[@patricedecourcy4505]

No, he didn't speak French. At some point he learnt English.

[@explorerelka]

@@patricedecourcy4505 Oh, I wasn't aware of this. Makes his accomplishments in the French cinema all the more astonishing.

[@patricedecourcy4505]

@@explorerelka True. Without knowing French he even once told Trintignant that he puts accent on a wrong word and it changes the meaning of the sentence... :)

[@sdroy84agt]

Listen mate in Solaris and Stalker the context of the films have little to do with supernatural but more to do with the human reaction to the supernatural or human psychology or may be response to stimuli of a human being to unnatural events.

[@patricedecourcy4505]

Well, it's actually not true, that Kieslowski wouldn't make Blue without Binoche. He already had a contract with Marin Karmitz - the producer. And as Krzysztof Piesiewicz, the screenwriter, said - after meeting Binoche Kieslowski wasn't so sure about giving her the part. In his opinion she looked too young. A few days later Binoche sent Kieslowski some photographs of her with short hair, where she looked older, and Kieslowski decided to hire her. Anyway, her role in the film is amazing. One of her best.

[@sickyjim180]

Its only what her agent told her.

[@DyslexicGod]

I always thought she communicated with him in Polish since she's half Polish!!

[@kimlinden2280]

Maybe she isn't fluent in the Polish language because she didn't grow up spending much time with her parents. Her Mom was born in Poland, but when Juliette's parents divorced when she was 4, she and her sister were sent to boarding school at that time and were away at school all through childhood and teen years. So, that may explain why she wasn't exposed to the language much. She has said that, sometimes, school breaks were spent with the maternal Grandmother (Polish) rather than with the parents, as they would go several months without seeing either parent. But, maybe didn't learn enough of the language to stay fluent into adulthood.

[@nwsanagnwsths]

Binoche maybe 2nd from women protagonist of the trilogy i believe best must be irene zacob and after julie delpi But of course the most mature is juliette❤

[@MrJupiterLo]

yer sometimes it seems when julliette is talking about Krzysztof she is somehow really just talking about julliette

[@kimlinden2280]

She talked plenty about his method and style of filmmaking, how much love he bestowed upon her, how there was a feeling of light on the set, his gentle nature, how much she misses him, and how he is still a part of her, and how much she enjoyed working with him. He died, in his early 50's, just a couple years after the Three Colors movies came out. She didn't know him for very many years. What more could she say?

[@darkphoenix474]

@kiara1490 True. Same in the Finnish DVDs "audio commentary", she actually cries.

Reflexes of reality actualities in mindfulness accumulation about self world systemic which melancholically becomes as a daydream chained in sequential definitions as the stupid sugar cube philosophy of the self daydreams, which always brings the unification of liberty from what’s inevitably gone, that love unites liberation among traumatic tolerance, that had gone but still follows in renewed freedom of self’s innermost. I believe the most in self knowledgeable situation of one’s life could be freed with its own well from its societal destination, which no longer could or will be a destination but a new wave of redevelopment to (liberty). Indeed.

[@theHobbes2]

an offer on schindler's list would have been heavier to pass by

[@xoxoxyllion4674]

She did pass on that too, by the way.

[@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747]

Not really, the female characters in Schindler's List are basically set decorations. In Blue she was the main character and carried the whole film.

[@kimlinden2280]

She later explained why she passed on both of those movies. She said they don't really do female roles. She mentioned that both Spielberg and Scorcese do male oriented movies. The main character of Schindler's list was female. One great thing about many of the French movies that Binoche has done is most of them are major female roles, including some of the more recent films Binoche has done with Claire Denis. And, two of the 3 colors movies were anchored by female roles. Non U.S. film directors were pretty far ahead of the U.S., in those decades, in terms of the depth and quality of female roles in films.

[@sdroy84agt]

Polanski's best movies were in the 70's; Tarkovsky's too were in the 70's (he is way better than Polanski) ; Goddard's best were in the sixties. Kieslowski's best were in late 80's and early 90's and Tarr after that. So do you understand what I mean by generation......I mean of that era... not similar age group...

[@liungman9229]

I love both of them. Their works are classic and metaphysical.

[@thales2008]

[@fabricegorgeon5325]

Il y a vraiment une énigme pour moi chez juliette Binoche, à un certain point de sa carière quelqu'un ou quelque chose "Broke Juliette" : on la découvre comme capable d'incarner l'innocence parfaite : Rendez-Vous, Mauvais Sang, L'insoutenable..., les Amants..., et puis il y a Bleu où ça commence à sentir le simulacre, Le Patient Anglais succes commercial et critique majeur pour probablement le film pseudo romantique le plus putassier de l'Histoire de l'Univers; Et après c'est vraiment une chûte de l'ange d'une amplitude quasi Luciferienne...un moment de tristesse infinie où on voit une femme se gonfler de l'orgueil de se savoir une artiste et de se croire une intellectuelle. C'est un gachis triste à en pleurer des semaines entières sans discontinuer. Une métamorphose exactement kafkaïene de la jeune femme faite d'une substance matérialisant la beauté interieure pure en pétasse de bourge qui se prend pour quelque chose. Et merde ! désolé pour l'emphase mais j'avais ça sur le coeur depuis plus de 25 ans...

Why Kieślowski chose her as the actriz for the flm "blue". Her talking is just the kind of dialogues Kieslowzki hates.

[@kimlinden2280]

She is brilliant in Blue. Blue doesn't have a lot of dialogue.

Outstandingly horrible interview! We praise her for choice of Kieslowski over Spielberg but here they couldn't have done more superficial Hollywood-like interview about Bleu. It just doesn't sound like Binoche on Kieslowski here. Her English language is just totally out of rhythm with the intimacy and the microscopic psychological detail of his cinematography, ' u know....u know...'?!?!
