Three Colours: Red (1994)

AKA:
Trois Couleurs: Rouge >> French

Synopsis:
Three Colours: Red (French: Trois Couleurs: Rouge, Polish: Trzy kolory. Czerwony) is a 1994 French-Polish-Swiss co-production,
co-written, produced, and directed by Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski. It is the final film of the Three Colors trilogy, which examines the French Revolutionary ideals; it is preceded by Blue and White. Kieślowski had announced that this would be his final film, which proved true with the director's sudden death in 1996. Red is about fraternity (brotherhood), which it examines by showing characters whose lives gradually become closely interconnected, with bonds forming between two characters who appear to have little in common. The film begins with clips that track a telephone call between London and Geneva, where a university student and part-time model, Valentine, is talking to her emotionally distant but possessive boyfriend. While driving to her apartment, she accidentally runs over a dog. She tracks down the owner, a reclusive retired judge, Joseph Kern. He seems unconcerned by the accident or the injuries sustained by Rita, his dog. Valentine takes Rita to a veterinarian, where she learns that Rita is pregnant. Valentine takes the dog home.
