Three Colours White (Shock)

Three Colours White (Shock)

Description


For some, white conjures images of starched bedlinen, purity, pillars of salt, innocence, chalk cliffs, virginity, crisp writing paper, Icarian feathers, lazy summer clouds, hope or Colgate toothpaste. For Krzysztof Kieslowski, white represents weddings, alabaster busts, snow and sexual ectasy.

Kieslowski weaves these representations round the central theme of Trois Couleurs Blanc: EGALITE, which the white of the Tricolor symbolises. However, Zbigniew Zamachowski's character Karol (Charles, a homage to Chaplin) aims for superiority in this distinctly different tale of rags-to-riches. That Karol loves Dominique (Julie Delpy) - despite the divorce, lack of sex, and acrimony - is undisputed. It is the methods he chooses to express it that are unique.

An involving, alternative fairytale - undoubtably Kiewslowski.
