The second in a trilogy of French films by director Krzysztof Kieslowski.
A quirky and humorous film about a Polish hairdresser Karol Karol who has married a French woman and moves to France. She is seeking divorce after failure to consummate the marriage. The film revolves around Karol's attempt to rebuild his life.
After returning to Poland penniless, he befriends a fellow Pole who he sets up in business with (after persuading him that he does not want to end his life). The successful businessman Karol now fakes his own death to have his former wife come to his funeral. She is then framed for his murder and the film ends with Karol visiting the prison where she is held and seeing the cell in which she is sitting.
Was this entrapment, or an attempt to win her back we are not told - a very thought provoking film and a good 8/10.
