KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

gavin6942 Second of a trilogy of films dealing with contemporary French society shows a Polish immigrant (Zbigniew Zamachowski) who wants to get even with his former wife (Julie Delpy).Apparently, the film has a political subtext, in which Karol's impotence and financial helplessness in France, and subsequent rise as a somewhat shady capitalist, mirror the attempts of Poland to advance from its disadvantaged position within Europe. Was this intentional? Perhaps. But it is certainly one way to read the film."Three Colors: White "was met with critical acclaim by film critics, but is considered by many to be the weakest of the trilogy; it holds a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while the first and third films hold 100% ratings. 90% is nothing to get upset about.

donuthaters12 Review In A Nutshell:White tells the story of a male Polish hairdresser, Karol, who was left by his wife, Dominique, with nothing. He deals with this loss by going back to Poland and rebuilding himself.The first I noticed when going through this film was how light it all felt, all the weight that I felt on the director's previous film, Blue, were mostly lifted. I wasn't so much disappointed with the change in tone as there are many moments in this film where the plot and narrative benefited from it, but I was underwhelmed by Kieslowski's execution. The director couldn't seem to make me feel comprehensively invested to the protagonist, as I personally felt he wasn't explored enough and the intentions of the character wasn't truly clear to me throughout. Thankfully I enjoyed the journey that the protagonist has taken, as we get to see him start off on the bottom of the world, figuratively speaking of course, and building himself up slowly to becoming a respectable and "fulfilled" man. He doesn't reach this stage without playing dirty of course, Karol is still a normal human being and would do whatever he can in order to get ahead, but it was handled in such a way that we don't think less of him. I saw this rebuilding as just a constructive coping mechanism towards the tragic loss he just suffered, and I think in a way all of what he has made for himself was all for her or at least something to prove to her. During the film's third act, we can see that he is still in pain and even though he could get anything he wants there is still a void in him that hasn't been filled, and that is love. It was her love that he has always wanted, and he blames himself for not being able to show and prove that to her during their marriage. For Karol, content doesn't come from wealth, respect and fame, it comes from Dominique.The film's photography was also a major change from the first film of the trilogy. Colors seem to be warmer, and the color seems to dominate a lot of the film's images, possibly enforcing the idea of purity and beauty. It connects really well with the film's plot and narrative, making certain situations coming off as comically charged rather than dire, giving us a glimpse of how the film would feel during its resolution. The score also was change from the previous film, switching from the grand and dramatic tone to something much lighter and sharper. I found the score to be effective, particularly during the moments where the film wants us to feel sorry for Karol or when he examines or thinks about his one true love, Dominique. We are able to understand his fascination with her, and the music helps support that.Zbigniew Zamachowski plays the film's protagonist, Karol. He was wonderful in the role, though it wasn't at the same level of amazing as Binoche in Blue. The actor was able to manipulate my feelings towards the character, with one moment feeling highly sorry then the next moment feeling proud of what he has become. He was able to change the appearance of his exterior while keeping his internal qualities the same. Julie Delpy was also pretty good in the role, but it would have been better if she was given a bit more screen time; then again this is Karol's story, not hers.White may not be a step up as I hoped it would be from Blue, but it's still a great piece of work from Kieslowski. Hopefully Red would be at least just as good as this, if not better.

Thanos Karagioras The trilogy continues and now we have the second color which is white. In this movie we watch a separated couple and the man of this couple who tries get back his ex-wife.Krzysztof Kieslowski directs a masterpiece again and I think that the interpretations of Zbigniew Zamachowski as the husband (Karol Karol), Julie Delpy as the ex-wife (Dominique) and Janusz Gajos as a "friend" of the husband (Mikolaj)."Three Colors: White" is a really nice movie and I liked more than the first one because in this movie we watch some different personalities of people and we also observe how difficult is to get threw some situations of life and get over them.

billcr12 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.
