【Madalena Director’s Choice】
Irène Jacob is stunning as a young model who meets a retired judge by chance when she rescues his dog from a car accident. Jean-Louis Trintignant is utterly compelling as the embittered judge who spends his days eaves dropping on his neighbours’ phone conversations. Their initially fiery relationship wellows into a close friendship which ultimately liberates them both. A final twist of fate reveals the destinies of the characters from all three parts of the trilogy.

The Decalogue, The Double Life of Veronique and the Three Colours Trilogy earned Kieślowski his reputation as a world-class filmmaker.
