Three Colours White
Trois Couleurs: Blanc
International Panorama: France
Perhaps the most overlooked of Kieslowski’s seminal trilogy, However this bleak but ultimately hopeful comedy is arguably the most accessible.
Trois Couleurs: Blanc
Polish immigrant Karol Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski) finds himself out of a marriage, a job and a country when his French wife, Dominique (Julie Delpy), divorces him after six months due to his impotence.
Forced to leave France after losing the business they jointly owned, Karol enlists fellow Polish expatriate to smuggle him back to their homeland. After successfully returning, Karol begins to build his new life, while never forgetting his old one.
It's often cruel, of course, and cool as an ice-pick, but it's still endowed with enough unsentimental humanity to end with a touching, lyrical admission of the power of love. Essential viewing.
