I just didn't quite get Kieslowski's motivation in making his character expierience that transformation, which subsequently made me feel as though it came off less effectively. What are we as the viewers supposed to get out of it? Or is it, as the title suggests, just an objective piece, with no intended message? Simply titling it A Short Film About Killing implies no intended emotional reaction. Could the confusion I'm feeling perhaps be the intended result?

Any thoughts?


I dream in widescreen.
