Three Colors: White (1994)

Trzy kolory: Bialy

In the second movie of Kieslowksi's Color-trilogy we follow a Polish immigrant in France, and the turns his life takes when his wife divorces him for being unable to please her in bed.

This is the first Kieslowski movie I've seen, that doesn't feel like no-one else could have made it. The theme is a classic one, and the Eastern European mindset shines through like we've seen in so many other movies, but he still delivers a well prepared dish for us. It's got more depth than we usually see in these kind of movies, but it's never close to the depth he showed in the first movie of the trilogy, Three Colors: Blue.

Zamachowski is good in the lead, but not quite great. The support cast is however great, whether we speak of Delpy, Stuhr or Gajos.
