Trois couleurs: Blanc
Black comedy about a Polish hairdresser who seeks revenge after being dumped by his French wife because of his impotence.
Equality is the theme of this second film from the TROIS COULEURS trilogy. Hairdresser Karol’s marriage to the beautiful Dominique, with whom he owned a hair salon in Paris, comes to an end because of his impotence. Karol finds himself on the streets of Paris with no money and no passport. All seems lost until he meets another Pole who can smuggle him to Warsaw. From his homeland, Karol hatches a plan to take revenge on his ex-wife.
TROIS COULEURS: BLANC is both a tantalising comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe, and a sublime reverie about derailed love. The film won the Silver Bear for best director at the Berlin Film Festival in 1994.
