The first part of Kieslowski's trilogy on France's national motto: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. 'Blue' is the story of Julie who loses her husband, an acclaimed composer and her young daughter in a car accident. The film's theme of liberty is manifested in Julie's attempt to start life anew, free of personal commitments, belongings, grief or love. She intends to numb herself by withdrawing from the world and living completely independently, anonymously and in solitude in the Parisian metropolis. Despite her intentions, people from her former and present life intrude with their own needs. However, the reality created by the people who need and care about her, a surprising discovery and the music around which the film revolves heal Julie and draws her back to the land of the living. 生命不能孤立。法兰西精神。唯有自我拯救。心灵的和弦——蓝色音乐解读。心理状态外化之手段。刘小枫：蓝色伦理的脆弱——转自《沉重的肉身》。痛苦是什么样的？。在内心的自由中走向未来。《蓝》所说的是这三个词：生命力，才华，使命。。自由的颜色——影片《蓝》视听语言分析。 这么多年来，朱莉（朱丽叶·比诺什 Juliette Binoche饰）一直默默支持丈夫的创作事业，照顾5岁的孩子，平静的生活由一场车祸打破。丈夫和女儿的过世，令刚刚在病床上醒来的朱莉大为悲痛。她曾经想一死了之，出院后又生归隐之心，她把丈夫的曲谱付之一炬，以明隔离过往的决心。人间生活对于万念俱灰的朱莉来说，已经无关紧要。 然而，现实却防不胜防地进入她的生活，让她开始思考自己对待生活的态度。同时，丈夫的朋友把丈夫留下的残稿发表在媒体上，声称要为这首曲续完。这件事意外地让朱莉得知，曲子原来跟一个女人有关。这个女人，肚中已怀有丈夫的骨肉。 朱莉终于获得了心灵的自由，有勇气迎接新的生活和新的感情，她的人生开始转变。
