The middle part of Kieslowski's colour trilogy is a dark comedy about a Polish barber, whose French wife dumps him for failure to consummate the marriage. The man goes back to his home country and devises a diabolical scheme to get back at her. The story may not be plausible, but it offers some amusing and touching moments. Preceded by Blue and followed by Red.
