A Colourful Storm presents »Effroyables Jardins«, a soundtrack composed by Zbigniew Preisner for Jean Becker's eponymous film. Given limited distribution during its initial release, the soundtrack's lustre has only strengthened and it is now considered a lost gem of contemporary chamber composition. An understated triumph of the oeuvre of Preisner, who closely collaborated with Polish director Krzysztof Kiezlowski and was responsible for the film scores of »Dekalog«, »The Double Life of Véronique« and the »Three Colours« trilogy.

»Krzysztof and Zbigniew really found each other, as they were deeply complementary in their need of emotional expression,« reflects actor Juliette Binoche upon her work in Three Colours: Blue. A Colourful Storm cites no other film leaving a greater impact on them than Three Colours: Red. These would be the last films the duo worked on together, before Kieslowski's retirement and untimely death.
