This card features a photo of the film Red by the famous Polish filmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski.  This was his last film before his untimely death in 1996 and was the final part of his Three Colors Trilogy.  I personally loved this Trilogy, so I was super excited to see the card.  It even came in a plastic postcard cover.
