Three Colours: White (4k Restoration) 15

Showroom Cinema are proud to present the 4K restoration of Krzysztof Kieślowski's award-winning Three Colours trilogy, playing over three weeks. Exploring the French Revolutionary ideals of freedom, equality and brotherhood, and their relevance to the contemporary world, the trilogy is a snapshot of European life at a time of reconstruction after the Cold War. Each film is reflected through the filmmaker's moralist view of human nature and illuminated by each title's palette colour.

Three Colours: White

White is the second instalment of Kieslowski’s ‘Three Colours’ Trilogy of the French revolutionary ideals of the Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. White stands for equality (and much else besides) in a droll tale of fortune reversed for which Kieslowski won Berlin’s Best Director award.

The film opens in Paris where Polish hairdresser Karol is down on his luck: impotent, penniless, divorced by his glamorous wife. A lugubrious compatriot offers an unusual job and a means of returning home and Karol receives a rude introduction to the new Poland, where everything can be bought and sold. He swims with the tide, determines to become ‘more equal’ than others and plots his own form of revenge.
