Three Colours: White15

Directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski | France/Poland | 1994 | 1h 32m | French & Polish w/ English subtitles | Starring Zbigniew Zamachowski, Julie Delpy, Janusz Gajos, Jerzy Stuhr, Aleksander Bardini

A Polish hairdresser living in Paris is down on his luck: impotent, penniless, and divorced by his glamorous wife. After a compatriot offers him an unusual job and a means of returning home, he receives a rude introduction to the new Poland. Swimming with the tide, he becomes determined to become ‘more equal’ than others and plots his own form of revenge. The second instalment of Kieslowski’s Trilogy is a bittersweet tale of fortunes reversed for which Kieslowski won the Best Director award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Reviews

‘What a strange confection White is – an opera of male agony and outrageously implausible picaresque adventure. Yet it succeeds amazingly on its own melodramatic terms.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
