Literally and figuratively the lightest of Kieslowski’s “Three Colors” trilogy, White stars Zbigniew Zamachowski as a Polish immigrant in Paris who hires a fellow expatriate to smuggle him back home to his native Warsaw after French wife Julie Delpy divorces him and frames him up for the incineration of his own hair salon. A wicked comedy about Eastern and Western Europe, men and women, sex and love, affection and acrimony… and also an incisive allegorical commentary on the galloping corruption of a post-communist Poland still struggling to find its foothold in the European Union.
