Just now watched "The Double Life" for the first time and saw "Three Colors" last summer. So he is a new discovery. I have not read any critical work about him but want to do just that. However, all four films, in my book, read like classic Jungian texts, artistic reflections on synchronicity, intuition as the voice of the unconscious, importance of dreams, the double, etc. Archetypal experience is numinous, of mythic proportion, and life changing. Krzysztof's vison is the collective unconscious where everything is possible, and beyond time, or both forward and backward, certainly not linear. That's the beauty of his films and of the "ending of Three Colors. The music and lighting eminate from the realm of mythic dreamscapes. <br /> Love the Dublin library.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255907811853993558noreply@blogger.com
