The Ten Commandments Of Krzysztof Kieślowski

Krzysztof Kieślowski is the foremost director to have emerged in Poland since Andrzej Wadja. His two most recent features, 'A Short Film About Killing' and 'A Short Film About Love', shocked western audiences and critics with their pessimism and brutality. Shot during the final months of communist rule, they are actually two in an extraordinary cycle of films made for Polish television. Each uses one of the Ten Commandments to explore the morality of Polish society - their subjects range from suicide to stamp-collecting, from incest to home computers. Arena talks to Kieślowski about these parables of contemporary life and his role as a modern-day Moses.
