I have wanted to post Dekalog since the very first day I started this ghetto-of-a-site, but I never had the patience. L&S has the patience of a monk, so I begged and pleaded with her to take on the task and she agreed- but under one condition: I have to be more tolerant of my neighbors to the north, quit saying "zed" nonsensically after every sentence when speaking to her, and be nice to the retards...errrrr...technically challenged on this site who ask stupid...I mean, inquisitive questions. It's like a multi-faceted 11th command, I guess. So I agreed, and here's the masterpiece of all masterpieces from my cinematic Guru, Krzysztof Kieślowski. Also, this is the best version of Dekalog there is, straight from Poland. If you don't believe me, go to DVDBeaver. Enjoy!
From Cinemascope:
Polish master’s Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Dekalog, one of the most staggering masterpieces ever brought to screen, would rank, along with the likes of R. W. Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz, among the most ambitious cinematic achievements. Comprising of ten one-hour films made for television, each representing a pronouncement from the Ten Commandments, Dekalog paints intimate, richly layered and thoroughly enriching portraits of Polish society through the microcosm of an apartment block which forms the backdrop for the stories. The series encompasses themes ranging from personal crises, ethical dilemmas and the political history of Poland to even the role of filmmakers, and covers such topics as technology, parent-child complex, infidelity, voyeurism, new found wealth, etc. In fact love, or lack thereof, human loneliness, cosmic conundrums and ironies of everyday life are some of the recurring as well as underlying motifs of the deeply philosophical project. Since Kieslowski was an agnostic himself, religious symbolisms never take the front seat; rather, they are subtly alluded to at most, as the various devastatingly human stories unfold before us. Music forms a vital aspect of the series, and has been used with astounding effect to create and accentuate the moods and tones specific to each parts. Hauntingly beautiful, profoundly moving and brilliantly enacted, Dekalog is cinema of the very highest order. Dekalog 5 & 6 were later expanded into A Short Film About Love and the A Short Film About Killing, respectively.
