The Opening Sequence of Kieslowski’s RED
one of the greatest opening sequences in all of cinema, as densely loaded a pre-title blitz as one might expect from Krzysztof Kieslowski’s final film.
Red isn’t coy with its primary theme of fraternity, which could be argued to be the overarching theme of the Three Colors trilogy as a whole (if you were sadistically forced to pick just one). It explodes out of the gate, physically connecting the opposite sides of a phone call by following the signal through the fiber-optic wires in a blitz of images that anticipates the impossible cameras of David Fincher and makes you wonder what sort of miracles Kieslowski might have worked with today’s technology.
Criterion’s Three Colors box set is out now.

Krzysztof Kieślowski filming BLUE (1993).
when people accuse me of “sitting down on the job,” i’m sure this photo is precisely representative of what they mean. also, i don’t have a comprehensive list in front of me or anything, but this has gotta be one of the greatest photos of a director in action that the great annals of Tumblr have ever known.
