Three Colors White Synopsis - Three Colors White is set in Paris and centres around the character of Karol, a Polish Immigrant, and his French wife Dominique. Their brief marriage is annulled on the basis that Karol has not been able to consummate the marriage. Losing the wife he loves and is obsessed by, hits him hard and he ends up sleeping rough in the metro, whilst his wife moves on and openly flaunts her new man. Karol meets a wealthy man Mikolaj, who wishes to have someone killed and will pay Karol money to carry it out, but Karol cant go through with it as Mikolaj wants himself killed. The two form a friendship and Karol is smuggled back to Poland to start picking up his old life as a hairdresser. By clever chicanery and deals Karol starts to make lots of money and with Mikolajs help, builds up a huge business empire, all seemingly to win back Dominique. But nothing is quite as it seems.

Review of Three Colors White - This is the best of the three colours trilogy. The story itself is something of a shaggy dog story but tremendously clever and inventive within that, but the twists and turns involved in the plot also include a superb portrait of revenge, passion, obsession and redemption. Julie Delpy is given little to do in her brief bookended appearances in the film, but the two lead actors Zbigniew Zamachowski and Janusz Gajoss playing Karol and Mikolaj, turn in tremendous and terrifically understated performances.
The reasons I recommend Three Colors White are: 1. A really fantastic and inventive story that keeps you guessing throughout. 2. Superb performances by both Zbigniew Zamachowski, and Janusz Gajos.
