Dekalog, from the acclaimed director of "The Double Life of Veronique", was premiered at the 1989 Venice Film Festival, winning both unanimously glowing critical praise and numerous awards. The ten hour-long films (The Ten Commandments), five of which are presented here, are all equally captivating and powerful. The stories are all set around the same modern Warsaw apartment block and focus on the complexities of human relationships. The themes are the universal ones of love, marriage, infidelity, parenthood, guilt, faith and compassion. The result is a unique and life-enhancing look at the various moral dilemmas faced by ordinary people in their daily lives. "I don't want to influence what people think or do, because I don't know the answers. We are not the engineers of human souls, and to pretend we have an influence would be ridiculous. I make films because I want to talk to people, to have a chat." - Krzysztof Kieslowski

How did I wait so long before finally getting to see Dekalog?? Two superbly drawn but completely different stories. Part 5 has a strange overtone of forgiveness in a story characterised by what looks like psychopathic cruelty.

Great

Two short films, unexpected stories about Love & Killing. Both brilliant, thought-provoking & moving. Timeless work from a great European master of cinema.
