Editorial Review:
White is the second of witty Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowki's "three colors" trilogy Blue, White, and Red--the three colors of the French flag, symbolizing liberty, equality, and fraternity. White is an ironic comedy brimming over with the hard laughs of despair, ecstasy, ambition, and longing played in a minor key.
Down-and-out Polish immigrant Karol Karol is desperate to get out of France. He's obsessed with his French soon-to-be ex-wife (Before Sunrise's Julie Delpy), his French bank account is frozen, and he's fed up with the inequality of it all. Penniless, he convinces a fellow Pole to smuggle him home in a suitcase--which then gets stolen from the airport. The unhappy thieves beat him and dump him in a snowy rock pit. Things can only get better, right? The story evolves into a wickedly funny antiromance, an inverse Romeo and Juliet. Because it's in two foreign languages, the dialogue can be occasionally hard to follow, but some of the most genuinely funny and touching moments need no verbal explanation. --Grant Balfour
A seductive story of love and obsession, WHITE won nationwide critical acclaim for its intoxicating blend of eroticism and intrigue. Directed by acclaimed director Krzysztof Kieslowski (BLUE, RED, THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE), and featuring sexy Julie Delpy (TV's ER, THE THREE MUSKETEERS, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS), WHITE is the mysterious tale of a man whose life disintegrates when his beautiful wife of six months deserts him. Forced to begin anew, he rebuilds his life, only to plan a dangerous scheme of vengeance against her! Winner of the Best Director Award at the Berlin Film Festival, WHITE is a story of dark, illicit passions -- one of the year's most provocative big-screen releases!

White implies purity and innocence, but also means equality. This film tells how a man acquires the equality with his wife.

Rating: - Essential cinema: Krzysztof Kieslowski's 'Trois couleurs: Blanc.
One of the most critically acclaimed film cycles ever made, Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's (1941-1996) Three Colors Trilogy (Blue / White / Red) is the collective title of three celluloid poems, Three Colours: Blue (Trois couleurs: Bleu) (1993), Three Colours: White (1994), and Three Colours: Red (Trois couleurs: Rouge) (1994), and somewhat loosely based on the colours of the French flag in left-to-right order, which represent the three political ideals of the French Republic: liberty, equality, ...

Rating:  - "White" is Bland
There must be something missing in the translation. This film of alleged deceit and revenge is neither interesting or erotic. It's just plain boring. The film starts out fairly promisingly but just lumbers along from there on out. I was a fan of director Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Red" but this film is not as remotely excellent as that film. Haven't seen "Blue" yet but it can't be any worse than "White".
Rating: - Very enjoyable
Nothing like the previous 'Blue' film of the series.
This second film of the series is a basically enjoyable and easy to follow (though not simple) story of a very inconspicuous Polish man. After 6 months married to a beautiful French woman, his wife divorces him and leaves him stranded in Paris, with no money and nowhere to go. Once he gets back to Poland, after many miseries, his luck will change and he will start to plan his revenge.
There lies the 'equality or justice' ... Read More
Rating: - A Fantastic Movie. I Absolutely Loved It.
The 2nd installment of Krzystof Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy, "White" is, in my opinion,
better than the previous installment "Blue." I find myself surprised to say this, since "Blue" is a masterpiece, but "White" is as well and happens to be funny, entertaining, well-acted, sad, and moving. What else could you ask for? While the protagonist in "Blue" was a cold woman (played by Juliette Binoche) reeling from the loss of her husband and child, "White" has a man as a protagonist despite the fact ... Read More
