The Dekalog - A Masterpiece....

Last night, i met up with few friends from NID over dinner and all of us ended up watching "The Dekalog" by the Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski (of "the three colors trilogy" fame).......

Kieslowski found inspiration in the 10 commandments, and made a series of films exploring each one........ naturally, this is some heavy stuff.......in some cases, it's really heavy stuff.

The series is Kieslowski's most acclaimed work.....typically for Kieslowski, the tone of most of the stories is meditative and melancholy except the last one which is more of a black comedy......

I've seen and enjoyed the color trilogy (blue,white,red) , the double life of veronique, a short film about killing and a short film about love by Kieslowski in the past but Dekalog has been by far the best........a true masterpiece……
