Three Colours Trilogy

I liked the first one, but I watched Three Colours White and just felt confused. Three Colours Blue made sense, and I've heard good things about Three Colours Red, but Three Colours White just felt confusing and irritating.

If I didn't know any better the box art and blurbs are highly misleading as to what these films really are. I might wait for Brows Held High to cover these before I can make sense of what Kieslowski was going for with these.

I've only seen White. What was it specifically that annoyed you?

It made me confused and angry because it was about a guy who wasted all his money just to get back at a woman who hates him, and while my fog of depression where my only purpose in life seems to be ambling around year to year wasting my youth hating politicians who will ruin my country instead of like, dating and such, I was left wondering if I'd understand what this film was trying to say better if I was a Polish man who remembered what Communism was like. I was born in 1990, I have no experience of Communist Europe whatsoever, and the obscurantism in White doesn't help matters.

I felt like I was let down by a film series renowned for being all deep and poetic, and I'm in a place in my life where it feels being intelligent and poetic isn't going to help you fight off all that is awful and destructive of beauty in this world. I related a little more to Three Colours Blue is what I'm saying.

AND THE GUY SUDDENLY BECOMING A BUSINESSMAN WITH NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE MADE NO SENSE, HOW DID HE GET THOSE CONNECTIONS?

When he lived in Poland, he was a brillant barber. Than his wife humiliates him by exposing his impotence and divorces him taking everything and also cheating on him. Its basically a movie about the absence of Fraternity. Each color represents the colors and themes of the French flag. Blue for Liberty, White for Fraternity, and Red for Equality. This movie is a whiplash from the first and third movies in that its more of a black comedy than a drama or tragedy. I hope that clears up the confusion a bit.
