Three Colours: White
(1994)
Directed by Krzysztof
Kieslowski this second part of a trilogy stars Zbigniew Zamachowski
and Julie Delphy. A Polish man is divorced by his French wife and
returns home to Poland pennyless.
The plot of this film
is supposed to work as a political allegory for the experience of
Poland integrating into the EU and struggling to catch up
economically but I do not think it works as well as a film like The
Marriage of Maria Braun (1979). On the superficial level the story is
fairly entertaining, if a little ambiguous at times but otherwise is
nothing special. While the direction hints at similar use of colour
to the first film in the trilogy it is not as striking or impressive
as the first film.
3/5
