Magic Marmalade 6th Feb 2025		Rated 7/10 Man in a suitcase. Probably better titled: Three Colours: Black... ...As this has a more deadpan, straight-faced, blackly comic, acidic tone, which is not as sparse and economical (or poetic) as the predecessor: Three Colours: Blue, and is a quite quirky, and protracted tale of revenge, of sorts. The delightfully named: Karol Karol, a Polish man, and burgeoning star of the international hairdressing world, is divorced in the opening scene by his beautiful French wife, Dominique, because he is unable to consummate their marriage, and so takes him for everything he's got, leaving him destitute on the streets of Paris. He can't even get home to Poland, having lost his passport. Thankfully, while busking in the tube station one day, a fellow Pole takes pity on him and promises to help him get home, by smuggling him on a flight in his large travelling case... so long as he, in turn, helps him kill himself. From there, Karol plays all the angles and builds himself up in almost Vito Corleone style to position of some power and wealth, all in order to exact a very insidious and subtle form of revenge on Dominique... But does he still love her, after all? It's kind of a Gilliam-esque, Monty Python / Fish Called Wanda farce, but played straight, and less wacky, but certainly absurd... but for all that, it's a pretty good film. Three Colours Blue is still light-years better than this, but the contrast in tone and style works well, as a kind of darkly comic- relief to that more earnest tale. >The reason I got all three Three colours movies before watching any of them, was I'd heard they needed to be watched in order, because elements from each may appear in the others - in the case of the first two, Blue and White, I don't think you need to especially, nor even the last: Red, but certainly the ending of Red only makes sense if you've seen these two first< ✔︎ Helpful Review?
