in my analysis of trois couleurs represent blanc i write that it tone be much light than the tone of trois couleurs represent bleu . i think it the same with this film . this time it not because of a tragic comedy element and but much more because of the main character valentine . although her boyfriend be live abroad and be ridiculously jealous and she manage her life with lightness and optimism and it seem to me that she might be kieslowski image for a carefree youth . the opposite seem to be the judge and who be very pessimistic and a grumpy old man and who experience big loneliness . in my view and valentine and the judge be pretty similar to each other and the judge be just much old and have experience many more disappointment . they share a different kind of naivety and they both discover that they can learn much from the other one . finally i would like to stress irène jacob performance and she round off the run of amaze female contribution to the three colour trilogy .
