Unless you're the Sultan of Brunei, then they're gold.
I'm not sure what to think of White. It's good, but it left me wondering what did the protagonist in the end was after. The lesson of the film, I suppose, is that anything is possible and equal potency is what matters. Still, I'm a bit puzzled by this one. Maybe it'll open up to me some day. Somehow the colour white in the film seemed less interesting to me compared to blue. Oh and I love the old lady with the bottle
The lightest of the trilogy made this a very fun one. A very well made tale of an unlucky guy's smart revenge to his ex-wife. Dark comedy with slight political satire.
I believe it to be the weakest of the three, but the final scene was perfect regardless.
Compared to the other two, this one felt like a cheap commercial. A tale of revenge (and ultimately hope) so glib and downright mediocre coming from someone as talented as Kieslowski, I was left a bit dumbfounded. Gave it 3 stars just because it's the central part of a major trilogy.
This may be the weakest film of the three, but it is still top notch, with great performances and an equal dose of humor and humanity. The life-affirming ice skating scene alone is worth seeing.
Really disappointed by this one.Started off good but by the time he gets to Poland it falls apart. Just becomes a mediocre comedy with nothing to great to say.

I prefer this than the other two colors, because it offers you a spectrum on where to delve your emotions or beliefs. Unlike the other two colors,the focus is more on the 'self' and how it nurtures within its own nature, it's searching for self-fulfillment from the beginning to the end, where you want to escape but you just can't, more like the feeling when you are watching the 'traffic' scene in Godard's Week End.
Hilarious deadpan comedy. I don't understand the somewhat dismissive reception at all.
damn you Blue ! if i knew that White would be this delightful, i would watch it right away months ago
