Dekalog (The Decalogue) (1989)

Director:   Krzystof Kieslowski
Writers:    Krzystof Kieslowski, Krzyzstof Piesiewicz
Language: Polish
Ten television drama films, each one based on one of the ten commandments.

Stanley Kubrick described it as the only masterpiece during his lifetime. Originally it was intended to be directed by ten young polish directors, but after finishing the scripts Kieslowski did it all himself. Two of the films were expanded to films as 'A short film about Love' and 'A short film about Killing'. The connection with the commandments are based loosely only. Undoubtedly Kieslowski's best work.

Rating: 5/5
