We’ve just heard that Krzysztof Kieslowski’s ‘Three Colours Trilogy’, newly restored in 4K, will be screened in UK cinemas this spring before the release of the new 7-disc 4K Ultra HD & Blu-Ray box set.
Available for the first time in the UK in 4K Krzysztof Kieslowski’s award-winning trilogy explores the French Revolutionary ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood, and their relevance to the contemporary world. It is a snapshot of European life at a time of reconstruction after the Cold War, reflected through the filmmaker’s moralist view of human nature and illuminated by each title’s palette colour.
Three Colours: Blue will release in cinemas on 31st March, Three Colours: White will land on screens a week later on 7th April, while Three Colours: Blue will have its big-screen 4K release on 14th April.
The official press release we received this morning lists the physical home release’s bonus/ tech stuff as the following. You can pre-order the set for around £79 here.:
