Figury samotnej żałoby

Abstrakt

The intention of the author of this paper is to juxtapose the image of
mourning that accompanies the experience of death as represented in Blue, a film directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski, as a part of a The Three Colors Trilogy, and its personal linguistic expression in The Mourning Diary by Ronald Barthes. Both figures of mourning render to us an intimate world of mourning linked to a loss of somebody dear and express a peculiar state of exclusion as well as various yet real images of mourning “at work”. In both Blue and The Mourning Diary we are exposed to a different rhythm of life
closely linked to the melancholy of loss and a resultant vulnerability of the mourner towards
the world.
