Add a CommentThe second part of the Trois Couleurs trilogy, Blanc (or White) centers on the theme of egalité, or equality, as it relates to a Polish man and his French ex-wife. The film is almost entirely set in Poland where the theme of equality also is prevalent in the extreme economic differences between Poland and France. After the intense, mournful melancholy of Bleu (or Blue), the first part of the trilogy, I found White to be quite humorous at times, playful, and sensual. It's a bit less self-important than Bleu, but nonetheless, just as moving and gorgeously shot.
Well worth watching second time around. Last of the Three Colors trilogy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Colors:_Red
