So we see Julie acting rather rude to people after the accident when she wanted to detach herself from her past and be free. And she was rude to the reporter as she mentioned, rude to Olivier and she killed the mices in her apartment for the sake of being all alone. And finally when she surrenders and goes back she is able to feel and cry. I konw the subject is liberty in this film,but I wonder whether it is for or against it...
shareJulie's idea of freedom is to be free of human relationships and thereby any obligations. She even mentions how they're traps and that she doesn't want them anymore. Hence, to secure this for herself, she sometimes has to be cruel or indifferent. This goes against her nature, which is essentially good and, ironically, imprisons her emotionally. In this way, Kieslowski generates a subtle tension that permeates through the film. Then as fate intervenes and Julie is lured into a web of human connections, the tension unspools and she surrenders to her circumstances.
I think asking whether the film is for or against liberty is the wrong question. It's exploring the perimeters of individual liberty in regard to human relationships.
