Sky Arts 1 are showing Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colours Trilogy over the next few weeks, starting tonight with Three Colours: Blue at 11pm (I believe it’s also repeated later in the week). My ‘reviews’ from back in the blog’s first year aren’t really up to much, but now seemed as good a time as any to bring them over.

This is a set of films I really need to re-watch (and perhaps then re-review), preferably with some kind of academic extras to put them in context. I believe Criterion’s Blu-ray box set is pretty stacked in that department, but at at least £40 it’s a tad rich for my pocket when I do already have them on DVD. (That said, it’s less than I initially thought and only about a tenner more than the UK set, so it’s not so bad really. But as anyone who follows BD releases knows, this September/October is a spectacularly busy one.)

Anyway, here’s the little I had to say in 2007…
