Trilogy consists of three stand alone stories, all set in Grenoble, and three different genres, thriller, comedy and melodrama, that taken as a whole become inextricably linked. A contemporary tour de force by Lucas Belvaux that calls to mind Kieslowski's ‘Three Colours' trilogy. In this emotive third film the only thing Pascal is sure of, in his increasingly complicated life, is his love for his wife, but with her descent into morphine addiction he can feel her slipping away from him. Pascal's anguish is compounded by his job as a police officer, juggling, as he is, with the local kingpin and an increasingly desperate hunt for the terrorist Bruno. After Life is a powerful, emotionally charged drama, though to fully appreciate this impressive conclusion to Belvaux's trilogy you really should see parts 1 and 2.
