BLUE
BLUE is the film about Julie, who survives a traffic accident where both her husband and child loose their lives.
The film is about Julie’s grief and how she deals with it. Everything in the film is blue: The water, the glass and even the music…even the sweater Julie is wearing! She tries to take her own life at first and when she does not succeed, she tries to shut out the world. Julie does not want to own anything, she wants to be free from material and human relations. Things are just not that easy. Life does come close, not least when Julie learns about the life her husband has let. We see her act and grapple with life, see her carry on her husband’s legacy. Julie’s husband was a famous composer, but is she also entitled to her share of the praise for the music he made? The music in the film is fantastic, by the way, and contributes greatly to the overall experience of the film! BLUE is probably one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen and yet it has inspired me to make one of the most simple of sweaters. I have combined two of the sweaters seen in the film. One is made in ribbing and the other is made in double moss stitch.
We can all use a big, BLUE sweater to snuggle into from time to time.
