Three Colors: White (1994) Rated R

After his wife divorces him, a barber plots revenge. Starring Zbigniew Zamachowski, Julie Delpy, and Janusz Gajos. 

This is the second film in a trilogy of colors by director, Krzysztof Kieslowski. The three colors of the trilogy are Blue, White, and Red, reflecting the flag of France. The films cover what each color of the flag represents, thus, White is equality, which Karol, the protagonist, strives for with his ex-wife. White is told through linear storytelling. While the story is intriguing, it does have many plot holes. Of course, they have you suspend your disbelief by questioning the responses of post-communist Poland. It’s not normal. The film, on the whole, doesn’t do much explaining; in fact, the ending has none, unless you know sign language. I rather think that the film falls short on equality. I’m not even sure that Karol got his equality in the end. The film has a lot to be desired (pun not intended). It’s not worth the watch.
