Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKrzysztof Kieslowski was a very precise filmmaker. During the scene in which Dominique has an orgasm, he told Julie Delpy exactly how long she had to moan and when she had to start to moan louder.
- GoofsWhen Mikolaj hires Karol to kill him, Karol fires a gun into his chest, then says "That was a blank. The next one's real." While blank cartridges do not contain bullets, they can discharge a wad of cotton at high velocity (which is what killed actor Jon-Erik Hexum when he jokingly fired a blank into his temple). Mikolaj would have been severely injured if not killed being shot with a blank at such close range.

Featured review
Krzysztof Kieslowski's second of the Three Colors trilgy' "White" (1994), is a much more simple film than its predecessor, "Blue" (1993).
We follow Karol, who is divorced from Dominique, who cruelly attempts to hurt Karol in the worst ways possobly, especially considering her still loves her deeply.
Visually, it is almost as impressive a film as "Blue", also drawing on symbolism in its visual storytelling, and the acting is brilliant - particularly Julie Delpy portraying Dominique.
In spite of an interesting plot, I did not find the film to be nearly as touching as "Blue", but rather cruel in its message and execution.
For me, definitely a weaker film than its predecessor, but holding several qualities of its own. I wouldn't recommend anyone to see this as a must-see - especially from the trilogy.
