White (Three Colors Trilogy) description
White is the second of witty Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowki's "three colors" trilogy Blue, White, and Red--the three colors of the French flag, symbolizing liberty, equality, and fraternity. White is an ironic comedy brimming over with the hard laughs of despair, ecstasy, ambition, and longing played in a minor key. Down-and-out Polish immigrant Karol Karol is desperate to get out of France. He's obsessed with his French soon-to-be ex-wife (Before Sunrise's Julie Delpy), his French bank account is frozen, and he's fed up with the inequality of it all. Penniless, he convinces a fellow Pole to smuggle him home in a suitcase--which then gets stolen from the airport. The unhappy thieves beat him and dump him in a snowy rock pit. Things can only get better, right? The story evolves into a wickedly funny antiromance, an inverse Romeo and Juliet. Because it's in two foreign languages, the dialogue can be occasionally hard to follow, but some of the most genuinely funny and touching moments need no verbal explanation. --Grant Balfour |

Superb!

Karol ( Zbigniew Zamachowski ) is disposed by his wife, Dominique ( Julie Delpy ) and forced to go back to his home country, Poland. Then, he thinks of and begins to plan the revenge to her, supported by his friend, Mikolaj ( Janusz Gajos ). When he becomes a successful businessman, it's the time to carry out his PLAN to acquire equality...
White implies purity and innocence, but also means equality. This film tells how a man acquires the equality with his wife.
Oscar nominee and the star of "Before Sunset", Julie Delpy portrays Dominique as icy beauty. Zamachowski plays a clueless man well. The story is depicted as somewhat comedic but serious touch. The friendship between Karol and Mikolaj is interesting. This movie received the winner of the best director award at the Berlin Film Festival.
Director Kieslowski is prominent in the unique expression. He effectively uses silence, unique behavior, metaphor, minimum speech, and beautiful music. These effects give deep impression. For instance, some funny moments are depicted by serious touch in this film. Also, an old lady appears through the three colors trilogy. It is interesting that Julie( Blue ), Karol( White ), and Valentine( Red ) react differently toward the old lady.
The three colors trilogy is the masterpiece of Kieslowski and consists of three films (" Blue", "White", and "Red" ) . The colors of French flag means liberty, equality, fraternity. Director Kieslowski expressed these themes through the movies. If you like Kieslowski's movie, you will like it.
