White is, to some degree, pale compared to Blue (no pun intended), not just in terms of cinematography, but also in terms of storytelling. Out of the three, I actually think this one has the most interesting premise. A story about a man who exacts revenge against his wife after she dumps him piqued my interest right away. But it was bitter for me to say that Kieslowski’s execution is quite dry. White falls short of its premise and doesn’t live up to the carefully-orchestrated visual narrative of Blue that culminates in a strong cathartic release, which makes it such a satisfying emotional ride.

One of my biggest problems with the film is Kieslowski’s portrayal of Julie Delpy’s Dominique. She’s…

Not Another 30 Day Film Challenge: Day Four, A Film with a Color in the Title.

That was a blank. The next one is real. Are you sure?

Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colors trilogy is probably my favorite trilogy of all time. Better than the Lord of the Rings trilogy, better than The Man With No Name Trilogy, heck, it's even better than the original Star Wars trilogy when they're all put together. The way each film is connected is so subtly brilliant, and (of course) the way he stylishly utilizes each color theme in each film makes it all the more beautiful. Whenever people talk about the Three Colors trilogy, the one that seems to be brought up the most…

Second part of the Three Colors "trilogy".

This one is much lighter than Blue or Red, it's funnier and moves at a quicker pace. As a result, it can be said it is the most entertaining of the three. The title color is present in many shots and the main theme is equality. Playing a Polish hairdresser named Karol Karol who recently divorced his wife (Julie Delpy) much to his chagrin, Zbigniew Zamachowski does a wonderful job as a man desperate to win back his love. While not as great as Binoche, he nevertheless manages to carry the film and by going through different emotional stages he becomes, if not a likable character, at least one that is interesting to…

After the introspection and emotion of Three Colours: Blue comes the playfulness and deviousness of Three Colours: White. Often regarded as the weakest of the trio, it is actually quite easy to see why, although anybody using that as a weapon to beat it with is being incredibly harsh.

After all, it's up against Three Colours: Blue and Three Colours: Red, and two finer films you will rarely see. Ever. Of course, it's not as if it's a competition or anything but I think it would be fair to suggest that Kieslowski probably knew that in terms of its emotional weight and depth of characters it was not going to be as strong as the other two films in the…
