The middle part of Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colours Trilogy" (White), is a comedy, (of sorts, and a cruel one), which may be why it's the least highly thought of but for anyone who knows and loves Kieslowski's work this, too, is a gem and shouldn't be missed. It's a love story, (again, of sorts), with a Chaplinesque hero, (a superb Zbigniew Zamachowski), divorced and treated very badly by his French wife, (a lovely Julie Delpy), plotting his revenge yet all the time still in love with her. It's got a tortuously convoluted plot that involves fraud and possible murder, leading to a stunningly unexpected and deeply moving climax. If the individual parts are not as profound as those in parts one and two of this trilogy, taken as a whole, the film still delivers a hammer blow and its closing shot will not be easily forgotten.
The films reviewed here represent those I have liked or loved over the years. It is not a list of my favourite films but all the films reviewed here are worth seeing and worth seeking out. I know many of you won't agree with me on a lot of these but hopefully you will grant me, and the films that appear here, our place in the sun. Thanks for reading.
