I'm afraid I'm going to be the sole contrarian among all other critics and users here. Not only do I think that Red is the weakest of the Three Colors trilogy, I think it's a weak film overall. The rebirth of Valentine and the judge felt a bit weak and was let down by the actress' bland disposition. I suppose her forgiving nature is what led her to form a friendship with the judge but when she often seems as disinterested as he (and even comparable to the melancholy in Blue), it makes for a disaffected narrative. The side story of the young law students whose life parallels the judge's life story didn't add much beyond repetition masquerading as profundity. Hey, at least someone helped the bottle into the recycling bin this time.
