Our series of Kieslowski's THREE COLORS trilogy continues with THREE COLORS: WHITE on 35mm!
In many ways the most personal of the trilogy (and certainly the most hilarious) THREE COLORS: WHITE shocks us by turning out to be an out and out revenge comedy.
After the brutal cathartic dive into grief that was THREE COLORS: BLUE, we're shocked to find Kieslowski deliver a movie about "Equality" that begins with a Karol Karol, a somewhat hapless and unlucky Pole, losing his newly married wife , Dominque, his identity, everything.
Dominique's loss is particularly humiliating because Karol was unable to consummate the marriage. Things just go from awful to God awful to the point where Karol finds himself a beggar on the streets of Paris.
But it's here at his lowest ebb that he hatches a plan to rise and ascend again, getting revenge on everyone, including Dominique.
In many ways, the most purely enjoyable and clever of the series, WHITE doesn't go or resolve the way you think a revenge comedy is going to go or resolve. It goes someplace EVEN BETTER.
Join us for one of the most ambitious thematic trilogies of the last 40 years.
