The Dryden will screen Trois couleurs: Blanc (Three Colors: White, Krzysztof Kieslowski, France/Poland/Switzerland 1994, 91 min., 35mm, Polish and French w/subtitles).

Clever plot twists color the desolate landscapes in the second installment of Kieslowski's trilogy, as the theme of equality is filtered through the distorted lens of obsessive love. Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski), an impotent hairdresser, returns to his native Poland after being unceremoniously dumped by his sexy young Parisian wife (Julie Delpy). Although straying from subway musician to hit man to bodyguard to entrepreneur, he remains fixated on exacting revenge in this highly original work, which recalls Kieslowski's more comedic (albeit darker) side.
