Red

Five minutes in: The red is such a welcome contrast after the cold, dreary white of White. It's also more natural - taillights, jackets, no-left-turn signs - than the blue of Blue - candy wrappers, glass mobiles.

Fifteen minutes in: Okay, enough with the red already! Every thing that doesn't move is painted or dyed red, and if you count the dog's blood, then some of the moving things as well. Even the protagonist is named Valentine.

On the other hand, it does have two dogs in it.

An hour ten in: I'm sorry the young judge guy's girlfriend is cheating on him, but the fact that if she doesn't answer her phone, he goes to her place and, with some effort, spies on her with her new lover - that's creepy. In fact, Marie's own boyfriend sounds pretty creepy and controlling, too - and Kieslowski doesn't seem to be commenting on it, it seems like neutral depiction. Hope I'm wrong, that it (critisicm) just doesn't come across in translation.

Auguste, the scorned lover, has just tied his little dog out on a post and is abandoning him. I hate him. Ah, later, we see he couldn't go through with it. But does the dog survive the ferry capsize??
