Sensitive and haunting film with deliberate and attractive developing regarding a peculiar revenge . In the second entry in Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, Polish immigrant Karol Karol (Zamachowski) finds himself out of a marriage, a job and a country when his French wife, Dominique (Julie Delpy), divorces him after six months. This is 2º outing in the thought-provoking and brooding trilogy by deceased Polish director Krystof Kieslowski is actually inspired by the French tricolor flag , here ¨White¨. The story , hung loosely round notions of personal and political equality , concerning the despair and desire for vengeance felt by a degrading Polish hairdresser. Initially , Karol having lost everything, he has no idea what to do with his life. But , after a macabre transaction with fellow expatriate Mikolaj enables him to go back to Poland , Karol begins afresh and directs his newly developed cunning to re-igniting Dominique's love.
Droll black comedy that takes a scalpel to the impoverished ethics of the new money-obsessed Poland , and to the selfish impulses tied up with our desires for a balanced sexual relationship . It is often cruel , of course, and cool as an icepick, but it's still endowed with enough unsentimental humanity to end with a moving , lyrical power of love . Second of a thoughtful trilogy of films dealing with contemporary Polish society , it concerns how a hairdresser gets in trouble with his wife , and submitted to a humiliating trial and so director Kieslowski uses the ending to tie up loose ends . This is an agreeable film , a symphony of pain as well as knowledge and filmed in enjoyable style , good sense and high sensitivity . The picture has various subtle references about the important and highly-valued trilogy . Being necessary to keep an eye on cinematographic use of the deep color White , including a colorful and evocative photography by cameraman Edward Klosinski , it is essential to be understood the story. This is second one of the acclaimed of Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, the film was nominated for Academy Awards and French Cesar : Best Director, Best Original Screenplay Music : Zbigniew Preisner and Best Cinematography . ¨Trois Couleurs : White¨ boasts a good cast , such as Julie Delpy who relies on the internalized affection rather than overwhelming displays for expression , Zbigniew Zamachowski , Janusz Gajos and Jerzy Stuhr . As well as the great musical score , as composer Zbigniew Preisner composes a rousing and impressive soundtrack . There appears some characters from the first two films of the trilogy ; including cameos by Juliette Binoche and Florence Pernal . As with the other movies, the film's final sequence shows a character crying. The 1995 Annual Cesar Awards , presented by the French Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences, it is France's main national film awards, considered by many in France, and internationally, to be the French equivalent of the American Academy Awards gave to this film several deserved Cesar prizes . Rating : 7/10, Good , above average film , worthwhile watching .
The picture belongs to trilogy referencing to the structure of the Three Colours trilogy - blue, white, red-, in that order, mirroring the French flag : 1º ¨Blue¨ starred by Juliette Binoche , dealing with a tragedy by a car accident and the subsequent consequences on an affecting woman , as the grieved widow retakes her life after surviving a car crash which killed her family , here ¨Blue¨ stands for ¨Liberty¨. It is followed by this ¨Trois Couleurs : Blanc¨ regarding a bewildered Polish hairdresser is divorced by his disdainful French spouse and returning to his family in Poland when he decides to fake his death ; being starred by July Delpy and Zamachowski . And, finally, Trois couleurs: Red (1994) that some critics considering to be the best entry in the compelling trilogy, it is about a young model whose life changes forever after a chance encounter with a reclusive retired judge whose the outlandish hobby is listen to his neighbour's phone calls , being starred by Irene Jacob and Jean-Louis Trintignant. This interesting and very prized trilogy is essential and indispensable seeing.
