While it's true that Kieslowski's Three Colors: White is a dark comedy, don't expect an abundance of belly laughs. The humor here is much more cerebral and subtle. This is a film that is clever, dramatic, romantic, and funny (in that order).

Strangely toned at the beginning, seeming to treat the very dark material in a very light fashion, the artistry in the direction and the mysterious motivations of the protagonist make this a compelling watch.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Three Colors: White (Trzy kolory: Bialy)" !
