Finding the work of director Krzysztof Kieslowski has been a rewarding experience. "Three Colors:Blue" and 'Red' are both fascinating films, and I will say the same of 'White', however there are a number of story inconsistencies in this movie that give me pause. Aside from the near impossibility of making an airplane flight inside a suitcase, the time frame in which Karol Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski) was able to acquire five thousand dollars to purchase the property from the old landowner was not clearly defined. It seemed like it occurred almost immediately upon overhearing the scheme, though at the time he had very little in the way of resources to speak of. Later, as one of the steps in the strategy to avoid detection following his 'death', Karol was supposed to fly to Hong Kong immediately after his 'corpse' was found. But he remained behind to view Dominique's (Julie Delpy) reaction at his funeral. But the biggest question mark might be concerning what charge the authorities had for arresting Dominique. Was it for fraud? As an accomplice in Karol's scheme? For the murder of Karol? I didn't think that was very well addressed, because even if she did begin cashing in on the will left by Karol, isn't that what any normal person would have done under the circumstances?

I thought the relationship between Karol and Mikolaj (Janusz Gajos), especially the scene at the train station, was cleverly handled. Karol granted Mikolaj a lifeline that he gladly accepted once he came face to face with the finality of death. It led to a business relationship and a revenge scheme against Dominique that was classic in it's execution. Though as I say, I didn't think Dominique's arrest came off as entirely credible. And when all was said, done, and sorted out, how was Karol Karol going to explain his sudden resurrection after more than a handful of mourners witnessed his 'burial'? The clincher however was when Karol viewed Dominique in her prison cell, and she signaled that she wanted to get married to him again. There's not too many ways I can rationalize this dysfunctional couple planning to get married all over again. It just didn't seem credible to me.

But as the saying goes - Love is blind. The corollary to that would be, of course, that marriage is an eye-opener.
