Very well executed

Must See Movie...

Boring

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The most underappreciated film of the Krzysztof Kieslowski's famous trilogy, White is the most direct, simplest, bitterest but also precise and very satisfying. This is one smart movie, and if you are interested in the subject of justice, equality, then it is a must see. The movie has aged well and is perhaps the best one to start with if you want to watch his movies.

The second installation in Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colors trilogy is considered an anti-comedy. Continuing the theme of France's national motto (liberty, equality, fraternity), "Trois couleurs: Blanc" ("Three Colors: White" in English) looks at equality, as a divorced man returns to his native Poland and eventually decides to get even with his ex-wife.As in the first installment, Kieślowski uses the title color to tell the story. This color that is a combination of all the other colors appears in almost every scene. "White" continues the first movie's theme of trying to break away from the past, while there remains an object serving as a link to the past. "Blue" had the blue beads, while this one has the two-franc coin. In the end, one might interpret the man's ethically questionable business practices as a warning about going overboard in reforming Poland's economy after the Soviet-backed regime collapsed.I actually didn't find "White" to be quite as good as "Blue" (I have yet to see "Red"). The previous one focused on the woman's attempts to make a new life for herself, while this one makes the man look like the victim. Not that these turn it into a bad movie. The worst Krzysztof Kieślowski movie is better than the best Michael Bay movie. I recommend the movie. I'm now eager to see "Red".

Karol is a real loser. It is not just that he is impotent, for which reason his wife, Dominique, divorces him. He acts like a worm. Because he keeps stalking Dominique, she finally has to drive him out of France.Back in Poland, he inexplicably changes from being a loser into an entrepreneur, and becomes quite rich. But he is still small in spirit, because he still holds a grudge against his ex-wife. He leaves everything to her in his will, fakes his death, and fakes evidence to make it look as though she murdered him, resulting in her being sent to prison. But just before the police come to arrest her, he shows up in her bed, and they have sex. It must have been pretty good sex too, because when he goes to the prison and looks at her with binoculars behind the bars, she signals that she still loves him and wishes they were still married. And then he cries.And people wonder why so many Americans hate foreign films!

White is the second of Krzysztof Kieslowski trilogy begins with a suitcase on a carousel at an airport but switches to a man in a Paris divorce court who has trouble understanding French, that his wife, Dominique(Julie Delpy) does not love him. It gets worse, with the disclosure that he can't get it up for his wife; ouch! The poor guy loses her, his beauty salon, and is soon to be deported with little money.He performs music at a train station when he is befriended by a fellow pole, Mikolaj, who offers him cash if he will kill someone for him. Karol is then smuggled in the suitcase from the opening scene, which is stolen by airport workers in Poland. He manages to get a job working for his brother as a hairdresser. He also works as a bodyguard and reunites with Mikolaj in a tunnel, where he is asked to kill him in an assisted suicide. He persuades his intended victim to stay alive.Karol's luck changes as he and his new friend buy and sell land at a huge profit. He has gone from rags to riches. With his new found wealth, he comes up with an idea to win back Dominique and seek revenge. The final shot is quite memorable, an excellent lesson in morality. Be careful what you wish for.
